wardaddy has the last name of one of the First Families of Virginia and they claim descent from Pocahontas.

My earliest Jamestown ancestor, 'Ancient Planter' Capt. William Powell, was part of the Colony and surely knew Pocahontas, but unlike the uppity FFV's I'm not related to her.

I’ve traced some on my mom’s side to a many generational Virginia family named Gee.

I’m so sorry you’re not related to Pocahontas. Just think of all the jobs you cold have had with that handy trick! Apparently native tribes LOVE IT too when you start pretending you’re one of them.

There is crossover between my ancestry to Pocahontas and Rolfe

Byrd and Bolling and Hopkins

Byrd is my surname but our most direct line to Pocahontas is through the Sullivan line

Sullivan’s Hollow Mississippi

My wife is more gentry than I

Wade and Barksdale

They gave land for DC. and were landed in antebellum era

Of course it left them without a whole lot in 1866

My wife’s gg grandma...we still maintain the graveyard
