The population of the 13 colonies in the 17th century ranged from around 50,000 in 1625 to approximately 250,000 by the end of the century. The majority of the population consisted of English settlers, with smaller numbers of individuals from other European countries and enslaved Africans.
The first Europeans to travel the Great Kanawha River were French missionaries around the 1600-1700s. The first full European expedition was by the British in 1774 by a Captain Hanson.
Once & for all Magellans' voyage must establish the fact that the Earth is round. That the East Indies were known as the Spice islands was important to the European desire for trade. Magellan did not live to see his small fleet return, he was killed in the Philippines.
