Note 140 — Chapter IX
Reading edition
"Memories of Yorktown," address by Lyon Gardiner Tyler, President of William and Mary College, Richmond Times, Nov. 25, 1894. The original letter of Captain Mathews and the declaration of Sir John Harvey concerning the "mutiny of 1635" are printed in the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, i. 416-430. In my brief account I have tried to reconcile some apparent inconsistencies in the various statements with regard to time. Some accounts seem to extend over three or four days the events which more probably occurred on the 27th and 28th. The point is of no importance.
