Arrived Home There:
Shortly before his son's graduation, Tryon had moved to Marion in the unrealistic hope of building up a respectable town medical practice. Warren, following his family belatedly from Caledonia astride his father's mule, arrived home there on a July evening in 1882 at the county seat that was to be his lifelong home.Gosnold next moved on to the nearby island of Cuttyhunk, which he named Elizabeth's Isle. There, on the edge of Buzzards Bay, he began construction of a trading post, which had been the main objective of the voyage. But some of his men insisted on returning home, and he set sail on June 17. He arrived home there in England on July 23 with a cargo of furs, sassafras, and cedar that pretty well paid for the voyage.
During the following winter Lane made numerous exploring expeditions and suffered greatly from Indian attacks. In the spring he received some aid in men and supplies from Sir Francis Drake, but finally the settlers persuaded Drake to take them home. Soon after Grenville arrived home there with new settlers. These had been destroyed by the Indians when, in 1587, a new colony of Raleigh's, under White, came out.
