Some six months later after the 24 Jul 1637 Examinations, Walter Chiles, Sr. had outfitted his own ship and by 1 Mar 1638 was again in Virginia. On that date he was awarded 400 acres in Charles City County. The award stipulation was: “50 acres being due for his own personal adventure, 50 for his wife Elizabeth, 50 for his son William, 50 for son Walter and two hundred for the transportation of four other persons, viz: Henry Fulton, John Govey John Shaw and Sarah Cole, to the colony.” The location of the land was Westerly upon the Appamattuck River, Northerly upon land of Edward Tunstall and Southerly towards the falls.

We do not know the name of Walter Chiles's ship in 1838, but the name of his ship in 1652 was, “The Fame of Virginia”, and it was engaged in trade with Holland and England.
He was chosen Speaker of the Assembly of the House of Burgesses Jun/July 6, 1652 but he refused at that time because he was having a dispute with the authorities over his ship. (see page 2). He was a member of the 1641 Virginia Assembly. He was held in high esteem by the colonists. He represented Charles City in the House of Burgesses in 1642 and 1643, represented James City in 1645,46,49, and in 1652 was elected Speaker of the House. Other records are missing so he may have been a representative for other years.
Governor William Berkeley, in 1649, sold the home known as the “Kemp House” to Walter Chiles for the sum of 26,000 pounds of tobacco. It was the first brick house in America and was located in Jamestown.
