John Smith - Bio, Age, Wiki, Facts and Family

Born on January 1, 1580 (age 51) in Willoughby, England. He is a celebrity explorer.

John Smith was an English soldier and adventurer who was instrumental in the founding of Jamestown, North America's first permanent English settlement. He led a thorough survey of the territories around Virginia and documented the Chesapeake Bay area and New England while in North America, becoming the first English explorer to do so. He was an accomplished mapmaker, and his abilities considerably aided the English in their exploration of new places for colonization in the New World. He was up in an agricultural household and had a strong desire to travel and explore. His father died when he was 16, and he left home at the age of 16 to pursue his dreams. He went to France and fought alongside the French army in the war for Dutch freedom from King Phillip II of Spain. He traveled to Hungary to battle the Turks after returning to England and studying riding. He returned to England after being captured by the enemy, receiving horrible treatment, and eventually escaping his tormentors. His adventures fueled his desire for adventure even more, and he became associated with the Virginia Company, which financed a North American expedition. At 1607, the English arrived in Jamestown, and Smith was instrumental in establishing the land as an English colony.

His father's death inspired him to leave home as a teenager to pursue a sailor's life.

At the age of sixteen, he ran away from home and became a sailor, subsequently serving as a mercenary under Henry IV of France.

He trained settlers to farm and survive in the very first English colony in North America: Jamestown.
