Raleigh Gilbert

GILBERT, Raleigh. He was a nephew of Sir Walter Raleigh, and commanded a vessel containing 120 colonists in the expedition to settle at the mouth of the Kennebec River in 1607. Arriving at Monhegan Island on 11 August, a fort was built at Cape Small Point, now a part of Phippsburg, Maine, and named St. George. Gilbert was appointed administrator. Becoming by the death of his brother the heir to the family estates in England, and the storehouse of the colony being burned, he returned to England the following year, the whole colony accompanying him.
