No. It went through what was called The Starving Time. A period when the local Powhatan Indians refused to provide the colonists with sustenance in an effort to remove the colonists from Virginia. They were isolated and dependent on supply ships from England which were held up by weather. They abandoned Jamestown in 1610 but were intercepted on the James River by their new Governor Baron De La Warr. Only tobacco production brought wealth to Virginia.
