Dear Listers, There are many tales in my Shipp family about being descended from Ms Pocahontas. They center on one woman who married Thomas Shipp in Essex or Carloine Co., VA about 1747. Her first name was Rachel and we do not know her last name. Ther are only a few families she could be from and still be a descendant of Ms P. That means about a four generation difference between her and her famous ancestor. The first generation is easy--Rolfe, her only child. Then there are the Bollings and a few others. It shhouldn't be hard to prove or disprove. But I haven't been able to do either. It makes a difference to me and to President Truman's family, because Rachel was an ancestor of his as well as mine. Ideas would always be welcome. Tom
