If I remember right, he may well have been the chief that launched the big massacre, after the death of Powhatan.

He was, and why he didn’t kill Mary Sizemore instead of merely raping and impregnating her was something of a mystery. Some claim he was Don Luis in his youth, and a product of rape himself, Powhatan mother, Spanish missionary father.

I’m a descendent of John and Alice Proctor. John was in England conducting business when the massacre happened. Alice was on their plantation, which was one of the westernmost of the settlements.

She and her household successfully held off the attacks for many days. They only left the plantation when English officers threatened to burn the whole place down around them if they didn’t return to Jamestown.

After that they lived at Pace’s Paines, across the river. They had quite the reputation as being extremely well armed. The Indians wouldn’t come anywhere near them.
