Just wanted to make sure I knew what I was looking at because I have seen it both ways. No, most could not spell, they spelled by phoenics (sounding the word out) so spellings vary. You also have to remember some of these people had accents so their phonics are even harder. Always use a "sounded" search if you do not find in a search what you are looking for at first. I don't see him in my index (I checked by date, children and location). I there anything else you can tell me? Do you know the county? Where was he before and after? (So I can compare it to other family migrations to look for a similarity) Also what is your source for her birth? Sorry I couldn't be of "instant help".

I am not aware of Pocahantas being in the DUCKWORTH line and to be honest that makes me nervous. I am a proven descendent of her through my mother the surname "MEGGINSON". To think my husband would be a descendent as well is not good hahahahahaha. I have uncovered several "Pocahontas MEGGINSON's". According to Native American Lore, her parents knew her as "Amonte" and her secret clan name was "Matoca". Her European Christian friends called her "Lady Rebecca". Many revered her as the "mother" of our nation, the female counterpart to George Washington. Pocahontas was a legendary Indian Princess and the daughter of the chief Powhatan. Four hundred years ago she lived part of her life in present day Henrico-county. It is her image that is on the Henrico seal and flag. She was an influence on the county as well as the commonwealth of Virginia. Pocahontas' father Cheif Powhatan of the Algonquin Nation. He ruled a confederacy ofPowhaten Indian tribes in Henrico and eastern Virginia. In 1607 a hunting party captured Captain John Smith west of Jamestown along the Chickahominy River. Captain Smith later wrote that he was taken to Powhaten and sentanced to death. In his "General Historie" published in 1624, Smith described his controversial rescue by Pocahontas. Relations between the Indians and settlers were hostile at times, Pocahontas and John Smith maintained a friendly relationship. In 1608 Pocahontas MAY have saved John Smith a second time from death with her warning that Powhatan again wanted him put to death. She was kidnapped by settlers in 1613. She had been betrayed by two Indians for a copper kettle and lured onto a ship on the Potomac River. She was brought to Jamestown and used as a political pawn against her father. During this time she was taken to the Citie of Henricous for religious instruction. She became the first Native american in Virginia to convert to Christianity. She was baptized an Anglican and given the name Rebecca. In 1614 she married John ROLFE and according to Native American Lore they made their home in what is now Henrico's district. The marriage brought peace between the English and Powhatan tribes. This accomplishment affected the rest of American History. Two years later ROLFE took his family to England where Pocahantas was treated as royalty and recieved by Queen Anne. While preparing to return to her native land she fell ill and died at Gravesend,England where she was buried. After growing up in England her son Thomas returned to his mothers homeland, became a militia officer and commanded a frontier fort in Western Henrico on the James River. Just a little report I did while researching the MEGGINSON's. I do however remember seeing a common name it was Martha Peale. I know that there was a Martha Peale m. to Absolom Duckworth (not my line but one I pieced together trying to break a wall on mine) in Indiana. However I don't beleive it to be the same person. I have an EXTENSIVE database of Duckworth's (none of which belong to me) and information on them as I was working the process of elimination on something a couple of years ago. Lemme know if I can help.

Dear all, and especially the kind folk who were helping with my chase for Ormerod Duckworth. I now have the BVRI 2 disks, and have found two Ormerod Duckworths, but not father and son! 1. chr. 17/4/1825, Haslingden, son of Henry and Jane. This is the one who married Alice Ashworth and who's daughter is buried in my Chadwick family grave in Glossop. There is also a marriage of Henry Duckworth to Jinny Ormerod in Haslingden 2/7/1821. 2. chr. 28/9/1848, Clitheroe, son of Samuel and Ellen. This may be the one in Pennsylvania in 1880 (also on Ellis Island listings). I can't find any connection of either of them to my gggrandmother Ellen Duckworth who according to 1851 census and age at death was born C. 1804 in Manchester! Can anyone help?
