You may want to first see if this is your list: http://www.genealogy-quest.com/collections/walloons.html This venture between the Walloons and the English never came off, though. I don't know that any of them ended up in Virginia. Two years later, Jesse de Forest and Jean de la Montagne went to Guiana with some others. Jesse died there on 22 Oct 1624. Jean arrived back in Leyden in 1626. Later in 1636 Jean de la Montagne sailed to New Netherland, arriving there in 1637. Although the list does not, therfore, tell us that these people left in 1621 or at all; it may be of interest in telling us that the people on it were "Walloons and French." Baird in his History of the Huguenot Emigration to America, vol I, pp 348 - 354 has the petition, the list, and some further notes on some of the Walloons such as who they married, where they were from.
