I didn’t realize there was a spanish settlement - learn something every day :-

The half brother of Chief Powhatan was legendarily sired by a priest at that fort. He led the Massacre of 1622 against the settlers of Jamestowne, and while so engaged fathered a female ancestor of mine, purportedly via rape. Her name was Mary Sizemore.
