The indians only managed to kill about a third of the Europeans, and drug off remaining women and children, leaving an impression that even more had been killed. This is bound to have an effect on relations for a long time.

Indian aggression against European settlers is never discussed. Ever. I've never heard of the attack you describe.

Read, "The Last Scalp Dance". It is not about that incident but it will give you an idea of why the Indians in the west were hated.

Kidnapping the young was a standard practice of the warrior elites. There's plenty of material published on the matter.

March 22, 1622.

If you're ever in the Jamestown area, there is a place called Carter's Grove Mansion. Off in the back is an area where the Martin's Hundred settlement was. I just happened onto it.
