Everything about Martin The Armenian totally explained
Martin the Armenian was one of the settlers in the
Jamestown Colony in
Virginia. He is the first known individual of
Armenian ancestry to have come to North America. Martin the Armenian was invited to the colony to raise
silk worms. Other Armenians were also brought to the colony but they returned to
Europe.
Armenians were among the first Europeans to come to
America. A man called `Martin ye Armenian' ('ye' corresponds to the modern word 'the' as the glyph 'Y' formerly represented the 'th' sound) was among those who lived in the British colony at Jamestown (founded in 1607), arriving either 1618 or 1619. Later, to help with the raising of silkworms, two more Armenians were invited to the colony. One of them, `George ye Armenian', according to the records, was offered an inducement of 4,000 pounds of tobacco to persuade him to remain and continue his work.
