In 1591 there was born in France one who was to become an important figure in the early history of the Virginia colony -- Nicolas Martiau, a Huguenot. While still quite young Nicolas Martiau went to England, where he fell under the influence of the powerful Earl of Huntingdon. at the latter's instance, Martiau was educated as a military engineer-- for it will be remembered that in this era of Vauban, engineering as a profession was still largely confined to military engineering, especially fortification. During his life in England Martiau also became a naturalized Englishman; and as he later held various offices in Virginia, his naturalization was plainly of the special form granted only by royal recree, which form alone permitted the recipient to hold office and enjoy certain other privileges.
The Earl of Huntindon was one of the members of the Virginia Company, that private corporation which was entirely responsible for the initial colonization and development of Virginia. About the year 1619 the colonists petitioned the Company for an expert to be sent to Virginia to plan and construct fortifications, badly needed for defense against the Indians. Huntingdon, we may be sure, was instrumental in securing the appointment of his young protege to this position; and in June of 1620 Martiau arrived in Virginia, where he continued to act as representative for the Earl's extensive interests. The Virginia Census of 1624 shows "Capt. Niccolas Martue" as having come to Virginia in the "Francis Bonaventure", sailing from England on May 11, 1620.
In Virginia Martiau was given the rank of Captain in the militia and put in charge of the work of planning fortifications. It is interesting to note that three places were selected by him for immediate fortification; and of the three one was Old Point Comfort, now the site of our principal fort for the defense of Chesapeake Bay: Fort Monroe, Virginia. After the disastrous uprising and massacre by the Indians in 1622 he was stationed with a company of the militia at Falling Creek, well up the James River.
Martiau first resided at Elizabeth City; and from this community he was elected a member of the House of Burgesses, sitting in the Assembly of 1623-4 (Hournals of the House of Burgesses 1619-1658/9, pp. Vii et al.). In 1624 or 1625 he married the young Jane Berkeley, widow of Lieut, Edward Berkeley; the exact date of the marriage is not known, but on December 12, 1625 Martiau wrote to the Earl of Huntingdon: "I am now both a husband and a father". At elizabeth City, in 1625, was born Elizabeth Martiau, the oldest child of Nicholas and Jane Martiau; and the family continued to reside at Elizabeth City for several years after this event.
Martiau became the possessor of a considerable amount of land in Virginia during the course of his lifetime. About the time of hi8s marriage he acquired a large tract which included the present city of Yorktown. It is noteworthy that Martiau was the earliest Virginia ancestor of George Washington, among others; and when Washington in 1781 proceeded against Cornwallis at Yorktown he camped his troops on land previously owned by his ancestor -- and surrender of Cornwallis took place also on the old Martiau tract. In 1630 the Martiau family tookup its residence permantly on this tract at Yorktown, then called "Kiskyake" or "Cheskiacke". Nicolar Martiau was again elected to the House of Burgesses as the repreentative of Kiskyake and the Isle of Kent, sitting in the Assemblies of 1631-2, 1632 (beginning Sept. 4th), and 1632-3 (assembled Feb. 1, 1633) (Ibid.. Pp. xii, xiii, xiv). He was appointed by Governor Harvey as a Justice of York County, which office he held for more than twenty years; his first appearance as a member of York County Court was on July 12, 1633, and his last appearance on September 24, 1655.
As indicated above, Martiau played an important part in the political life of Virginia in his day. One of his minor appointments in 1639 was as one of the Tobacco Viewers for Charles River County -- "Men of Experience and in dignity for the Carfull Viewing of each Man's crop of Tobacco" -- the Viewers being selected by the Assembly. Nor did he fail to increase his land holdings. In Mazrch of 1639" Captain Nicholas" Martiau was granted 1300 acres in the County of Charles River; of this tract 700 acres was granted for the transportation into the colony of fourteen persons, while 600 acres was granted for the migration of himself, his wife and ten persons to Chiskiack in its first year. Chiskiack, or Yorktown, was at first a frontier settlement, exposed to attack by Indians, and grants of land were given to those who would settle there; but in 1644 this danger was removed by the migration of the Chiskiac Indians from the York River to the Pianketank, where the tribe died out. Martiau also secured two grants of land in Westmoreland County -- one in 1654, and one in the following year -- each grant being for two thousand acres (Westmoreland Deed Book No. 3, pp. 312, 363).
Undoubtedly the most important part in Virginia history played by Capt. Nicolas Martiau was in connection with the election of Governor Harvey. Opposition to Harvey's methods and high-handedness became general in the colony during the winter of 1634-5, and meetings were held at various places to voice this opposition. Meetings were at the Martiau home, among others; and this led to the arrest by the governor of Martiau, Capt. Francis Pott, and Sheriff William English of York. These three were placed in irons by order of Harvey, who announced his intention of hanging them; but the opposition to him was so strong, even in the Council and House of Burgesses, tha he was forced to release them; and Harvey was himself placed under heavy guard. Being reduced to ineffectiveness as governor, Harvey was forced to return to England to appeal for the support of the Crown in his struggle with the colonists. He returned for a time to Virginia, bringing with him the young George Reade of whom we shall hear more later; but his views were so arbitrary and unsympathetic that he was soon force to leave Virginia for a second and final time. George Reade had become acting Secretary of State of the colony in the absence of Richard Kemp, then in England, and upon Harvey's final departure Reade became acting governor. Martiau was one of the outstanding leaders in the movement of the colonists which caused Harvey's deposition.
In going over the early records mentioning Martiau's name, searchers originally believed the spelling of his name to be Martian; and for a number of years he was referred to as Nicholas Martian. However, there have come to light a considerable number of documents bearing his signature -- and it is unmistakeably "Nicolas Martiau".
