Captain Robert Beheathland (or Behethland, born before 1587 - d. 1627) in St Endellion, Cornwall, England, was an English gentleman who arrived in Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607 aboard one of the three founding ships, likely the Susan Constant.[1] He is noteworthy as the only original 1607 Jamestown colonist having documented descendants living today.[2]
