If you look at the passenger lists arriving at Jamestown in the beginning of that colony, you will see only men. They were looking to get rich and the return to England. But as time went on people started figuring out that you could live in Virginia and have a family there. So more than just men started coming.

Women and children are needed for a civilized place.
