Scientists attempt to identify the body of Jamestown settler Bartholomew Gosnold

On Teusday, a group of scientists traveled to England to gather DNA samples from the remains of relatives of Capt. Bartholomew Gosnold, in order to confirm the identity of a skeleton that was found near Jamestown, VA. Capt. Gosnold was second-in-command behind John Smith during the Jamestown settlement, and he died of dysentary several months after the group's arrival on May 15, 1607. He was a very important part of the first English settlement in this country, and some consider him a forgotten founding father.
