    2. MJFarley
    3. Yes, I have most of Jesse and Nancy's children and grandchildren .maybe a few are missing .Jane had a daughter Bessie who married a Greer, then a Walker but Bessie lived to be over a 100 year old. I also lived in the area where they lived use to pick blackberries on the old Harrison place which the Blue Ridge Parkway owns now I knew some of the ones out of Roe's family.I know some from James and Mary's family and R ed Eye Jesse Coffey married Lou , Rachel's sister.Jesse and Lou's daughter Sarah married James Gragg he died she married his brother Joshua who are from my dads side of the family. Not too many in Watauga not kin to a Coffey I also knew Jerry Hampton who married Edna I'm thinking Moody but both are gone now there was big families on both sides.

    1. Re: [NCWATAUG] Pocahontas & Charlemagne connection
    2. Hi everyone on the Wautauga list: I usually don't contribute because I don't have anybody in our line that you talk about. If anyone knows anything about Brice Russell/ Hugh or Jane Thompson/ or any Birdwells, those are my folks. I think. The first thing I learned about genealogy is nothing is written in stone. We just get hints here and there and until DNA there was no real way to prove Great granddad didn't meet some likely wench out behind the woodshed or where ever. And it is definitely a tapestry of thousands, maybe millions of threads. As someone said before, it gets up into the high numbers pretty quickly. The real reason I'm writing is about the Charlemagne line. Grandpa Charley, I call him. My line descends directly from Thomas Wingfield in early Virginia and supposedly the Wingfields were descended from the Plantagenet royalty(one of which was the bad King John we heard so much about in Robin Hood.)and from there to Grandpa charley. There is now some dispute! as to whether any Wingfields imigrated to America so the limb is shaky and speaking for our British cousins nonexistent. That is what I mean about nothing in stone. However, I prefer to believe. And it is a lot of fun to read the list that we might have come from(that is IF everybody was legitamate and always told the truth) Of course we know that's not true. Anyhow, I find genealogy fascinating and fun but not to be taken completely seriously, like my golf game. Happy hunting!

    3. My ancestor Jesse Calton Coffey was the one married to Nancy Raines. She was from Cocke Co. Tn. My grandmother Rachel Lorinda or Rendy as she was called, was their daughter, who married Jordan Hampton. My father was number 15 of Rendy and Jordan's children. Rendy had a sister, Liza Jane who married Anson Harrison and they had 15 children and I think there was a brother who had 15 children.

    3. Ruth, This is very interesting about the Aldridge tie to Pocahontas. This information about Wm. Miller serving under Anthony Wayne is an error, I believe. I have his record of service from Washington, DC and it states he was a waggoneer in the Rev. War and they sent a copy of the vouchers where he was paid.

    1. Re: [NCWATAUG] Pocahontas & Charlemagne connection
    2. Jon Smith
    3. The key is from Martha Bolling, b 1713 in Henrico County (Richmond), Virginia. She's the daughter of John Bolling, who is the son of Robert Bolling and Jane Rolfe, grandson of Pocahontas. Martha Bolling and Thomas Eldridge had a daughter Mary Eldridge, born 4/4/1743, those facts are pretty clear. Is she the Mary Aldridge/Eldridge (b abt 1740) that married William Lambert Miller (b 1735), father of David Miller who marries Elizabeth Norris? Quite possible, but I want a few more confirmations before I pronounce her as the 'lucky bingo card'. (or unlucky if you want to list all of the unsavory folks Joe brought up!) To get back to Charlemagne, keep following the Bollings up line for a couple hundred years and take a right on the female Greene. Go back a few hundred there and take a right on the female de Arderne. Keep going back and take a right on the female De Ponthieu and from there I think you have several avenues. The Capets show up, the De Auvergnes show up, de Saxony (as in King Otto I de Saxony), the Anjou's. You are into French royalty by then and the tree starts looking like the Mississippi delta basin! The Aujou's lead to the Orleans, who lead to the Franks, etc. The line from Peter Pan comes to mind, take a right at the first star and straight away until morn! Here's it in reverse. Charlemagne (747) Hugo Petronilla de France Ingelger I Orlean Fougues I d'Anjou Foulges le Anjou Adelaide de Anjou Wermegarde de Toulouse Ermengarde de Auvergne Bertha de Aumale Enquerrand de Ponthieu Piers de Valognes Robert de Valognes Theobald de Valoines Bertha de Valoines Amabel de Glanville Thomas de Arderne (1170) . . Ralph de Arderne (1312) Phillipa de Arderne Catherine de Drayton Henry De Greene . . . . Jane Greene Robert Bolling (1590) . . .

    3. Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Volume IV: "I) Robert Bolling, the first of his name in Virginia, was born in London, England, December 26, 1646. He arrived in Virginia at the age of fourteen years, October 2, 1660, and in the year 1675 married (first) Jane, daughter of Thomas Rolfe, and granddaughter of the Princess Pocahontas (wife of John Rolfe), and great-granddaughter of the Indian Emperor Powhattan. By her he had one son, John. He married a second wife, Anne, daughter of John Stith, by whom he had a large family. This Robert Bolling lived at Kippax, in Prince George county, where he died July 17, 1707, and is there buried." -----Original Message----- From: ncwataug-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:ncwataug-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of JOHN FLETCHER Sent: Sunday, January 20, 2008 1:06 PM To: ncwataug@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NCWATAUG] Zionville School Maotakoa, aka Pocahontas, aka Rebecca Rolfe married John Rolfe in Jamestown on April 5, 1614. About 1 year later she gave birth to a son Thomas. She died in 1618 during a visit to England, where she was buried. Her only son Thomas was left in England to be raised and educated. He later returned to Virginia as a young adult. His father John Rolfe was killed in the first Indian Massacre on March 22, 1622. Unless your line can be proven back to Thomas Rolfe, you cannot be descended from Pocahontas. John Smith was only a friend, although a close one, of Pocahontas. They had no romantic relationship. Smith went back to England in 1609 after a serious injury and never returned to Virginia. He was never married and had no known offspring.

He was the son of Heinrich Mueller of Germany, and it is believed his name was changed from German (Wilheim Mueller) to English (William Miller) while he was arranging passage to America from England (immigrants from Europe had to make their way to England to gain ships passage to America from the port of South Hampton). It is also believed he immigrated with at least one brother. William served in the Revolutionary war under the command of General Anthony Wayne. He and Mary were Charter members of the Three Forks Baptist Church, which is the oldest (1790) constituted Church in Watauga County, NC." #5 "In America William Miller bound himself out in order to obtain money for Mary's passage to America. William and Mary were probably married between 1755-60, probably in New Jersey. In the 1760's William and Mary moved into the Jersey Settlement in Rowan County, and in 1775 William joined the Jersey Baptist Church by transfer of letter from Bonne's Ford Baptist Church. Sometime after this the family moved into Wilkes County, settling at Holman's Ford on Lewis Fork, but in 1783 they crossed into the part of Ashe County, to Cook's Gap, which would become Watauga in 1849 and thus became among the earliest settlers of Watauga county. There he took up 640 acres from what is now the Parkway to the New River near Boone and lived on Goshen Creek. William and Mary appear on the records as charter memebers of the Three Forks Baptist Church which was organized in 1790. They were active and faithful members of this church. In 1801 they moved back to Lewis Fork where they spent the rest of thier lives and are presumed to be buried in this area. They died between 1820-30.
