Susan Reynolds is an excellent historical researcher. Her head is NOT full of garbage and it is an insult to her for you to say this. It's an insult to all of us who were included in your statement. Just who do you think you are? The phrase you used sounds very much like a flame. Just why was it that YOU were selected to know all the closely guarded secrets of the Cherokee people when few others were? DO you REALLY expect other researchers to accept what you say in blind faith when you never, ever provide any resources or documentation for what you say? If you KNOW she was Matoaca then PROVE IT! But you can't can you? You've listened to mythology for so long you don't recognize the facts. Joyce Gaston Reece Susan It would take a book or two to answer your questions. It amazes me how you people think. Your heads have been filled with garbage. I know what Poca's family names were. I know she is Matoaca. I know what the Cherokee have been guarding. I know some of the closely guarded secrets. But it you are not Cherokee, you will not get answers. And I honor that. Those people , my people, have been through HELL I did not know that my close related people were Cherokee. They did not want me to know. My grandparents were wonderful people. After my father was killed, my grandparents were always there for me. And raised me. I knew my great grandmother. She lived in a small town above Oregon City. And did not go by her "proper name". She had a special name that everyone called her. Something inside of me knew. Today it is called Blood Memory. I called it DNA memory. When Matoaca was abducted, her husband trying to protect her, was murdered by the James Towne English. Their twins were cut loose in the woods. The Cherokee found them and took them to a safe place to grow up They grew up. While most of the Powhatan and Cherokee were destroyed. Your idea of history is far, far off. One of my first questions to the Cherokee was about Powhatan GORDON. I am a GORDON and use my Gordon name as part of my identity. The Cherokee answered, " he was three generations from Poca."They knew who I was, it was me who did not know .But I do now. BARB

When one does not agree with the other. Its best to let the other sink alone. The back says much when the front says nothing. Aho!
