I am a direct descendant of one of the first settlers of Jamestown, and wanted to know what life was like for him and all the first settlers there and if anything more than his name and position are known.

I don't want to post his name publicly, in case that violates Reddit's or /r/AskHistorians rules, but can PM it or add in an edit if mods say it's OK.

Edit: His name was Nicholas Skot/Scot, and he was listed as a "drummer"

Quick mod note re the privacy rule: there are no privacy concerns about naming or discussing the life of this individual: he died more than 100 years ago.
