SANDYS, Edwin, Sir [1561-1629] X English colonial organizer

Knighted by James I and employed by him "in several affairs of greatimportance", M.P. from Stockridge 1604-1611, together with Sir FrancisBacon held to be "two men of the greatest parts and knowledge inEngland";

Son of Archbishop Edwin Sandys.qv

He was member of Parliament (1586 et seq) and sat in the first Parliament(1604) of James I, becoming prominent through his attacks on themonopolies. In 1613 he became the object of royal displeasure when he setforth the principle that there were constitutional limits to the power ofboth king and people. He was a member of the East India Company (1618 etseq) and served on its committee (1619-23, 1625-29). A member of theVirginia Company's council in 1607, he became joint manager (1617) andtreasurer (1619-20) of the company, and organized government of colony(1619) despite opposition from the king. This resulted in hisimprisonment (1621) as a suspected plotter to establish a Puritan statewith republican government in America [!]. He nevertheless remainedpowerful in the councils of the company until its charter was revoked(1624) and Virginia became a crown colony. He was of aid to the Pilgrimsin obtaining the charter for the Mayflower.

Sir Edwin may be responsible for the first introduction of black slavesto America ca 1619.

Second son of Archbishop Edwin Sandys and his second wife, CecilyWildford. Treasurer of the Virginia Company and was instrumental inobtaining the charter that the Pilgrims needed to be granted passage tothe Americas. 1571 entered at Merchant Taylor's School and thence waselected scholar of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, matriculating in Sep1577. He was graduated B.A. on 16 Oct 1579, M.A. on 5 Jul 1583, andB.C.L. on 23 Apr 1589. He was elected fellow of Corpus early in 1580 andon 17 Mar 1581/82 his father presented him the prebend of Wetwang in YorkCathedral. In 1589 he was admitted to Middle Temple as a student.

On 13 Oct 1586 Edwin Sandys entered Parliament as Member from Andover.Soon after the dissolution of Parliament in 1593 Sandys accompanied hisfriend George Cranmer on a three-year tour of the Continent, visitingFrance, Italy, and Germany. He remained abroad after Cranmer's return andwas at Paris in 1599 when he commenced the writing of Europae Speculum.The book, remarkably tolerant for the time, was well received andeventually was translated into Italian, French, and Dutch.

Sandys returned to England in 1599 and in 1602 he resigned his prebend atWetwamg. Next year he made his way to James VI of Scotland andaccompanied him to England, where the latter subsequently ruled as JamesI. Sandys was knighted by the King at Charterhouse on 11 May 1603; on 12Mar 1603 he was returned to James' first Parliament as Member forStockbridge, Hampshire. Despite his other activities and interests inthis period, Sir Edwin's main energies were devoted to the VirginiaCompany. He had been appointed a member of His Majesty's Council forVirginia on 9 Mar 1607. In 1617 he was chosen to assist Sir ThomasSmythe, the treasurer, in the management of the company. In this activityhe warmly supported the request of the Leyden exiles to be allowed tosettle in the company's dominion. It was largely owing to his influencethat a patent was granted them. (A patent was an instrument making aconveyance or grant of public lands; also, the land so conveyed.)

On 28 Apr 1619 a combination of parties resulted in the almost unanimouselection of Sandys to the treasurership, thereby making 1619 'a date tobe remembered in the history of English colonisation'. In May he procuredthe appointment of a committee to codify the regulations of the company,to select a form of government for the Colony, to appoint magistrates andofficers, and to define their functions and duties. Acting on thecompany's instructions, Gov. George Yeardley of Virginia summoned anassembly of burgesses, which met in Bruton Parish church at James Towneon 30 Jul 1619. It was the first representative assembly to meet inAmerica.

On 6 Jun 1619 Sandys obtained the company's sanction for theestablishment of a missionary college at Henrico. Ten thousand acres wereallotted for its maintenance, but the project subsequently was abandoned.During the years 1619, 1629, and 1621 the Virginia Company under Sandysprovided and sent to Virginia 42 ships and 3,570 men and women, withprovisions, cattle, and the like. It despatched the Mayflower fromPlymouth, England, on 6 Sep 1620 with a load of 102 passengers; thevessel landed at Plymouth, Massachusetts, on 11 Dec. The company alsosent to Bermuda nine ships and some 900 persons to settle there
