Years: 1635 - 1635
About half the Yaocomico had left the site of St. Mary's City immediately; the other half leaves in 1635, having had the past year to maintain and harvest their crops.
In the interim, the Yaocomico have proved an invaluable resource to the settlers, teaching them how to survive in the new world.
The Europeans, in return, write favorably of the Yaocomico.
The Jesuit priests Andrew White, John Altham Gravenor, and Thomas Gervase, who had arrived with the first colonists, attempt to convert the Natives to Catholicism, establishing an institution of higher learning at St. Mary's which is later to become known as Georgetown University, North America's oldest university.
The colonists also continue to trade or share some European goods with the natives.
