I called it "One Man's View". Vide infra.
What is your source?
And do you have a date in 1623 when _Southampton_ arrived?
1623 is better than 1624.
So, do you have John Isaac Bates here for the Indian Massacre in 1623?

My guy's name was John Bates. I guessed at the date he came to
Jamestown, which was 1620 something, maybe 1626.

"So, on January 20, 1624, 24 year old John Isaac Bates set foot in
Jamestown after crossing the Atlantic on the Southampton and became
the first Bates family ancestor to come to America. He was one of 21
passengers on the ship that were servants of Abraham Piersey. Piersey's
two daughters aged 11 and 15 were also on board."

Your source appears to have made an error. John Isaac Bates is reported to
have arrived in the year 1623 aboard SOUTHAMPTON while accompanying the
Pierseys. The date of 20 January 1624 is when the King's Muster was taken
to obtain a census of the Royal colony following the liquidation of the
Virginia Company. Evidently, your source wrongly assumed the date of the
Muster was the date of arrival of the SOUTHAMPTON.
