The first colonist from England with my surname and ancestry was killed in that massacre in Olde Jamestown, as was his wife.
The Chief who led the Powhatan attack was the Uncle of Pocahontas. (Can’t recall how to spell his name right now)
A survivor of the massacre was found and was a 1 y/o boy who lived to continue my paternal genetic ancestral line.
