Bill, Are there any participants yet from my Prince George Co. VA Davenport cousins, ie, George married Mary Marks, who Doc has speculated are of a different than the Pamunkeys? I spent some time, as I noted earlier, at the NC Archives, and in addition to the Terry/Glover/Barnet/Davenport info in Granville, I believe I have confirmed 88% my own Robertson/Marks ancestry.
