Have you been able to find any other confirmation for your Source #4 to Pocahontas?

They were charter members of the Boone's Ford Church. In 1755 they were members of Jersey Baptist Church in Rowan.

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. West of Lewis Fork Baptist Church is Miller Mountain which may have been named for William. There is a cemetery dating back to the 1800’s at the base of the mountain, and Wiliams’s grandson, John B.

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. Jon Smith <jon.smith.1234@comcast.net> wrote: Have you been able to find any other confirmation for your Source #4 to Pocahontas?

I realize I'm not related to John Smith. (My Smith's were Schmidt's and came from Germany). But being a Jon Smith, my wife is always asked, "so who are you? Pocohantas?"

So far that is the only source that I've sited. I play with it sometimes, but haven't found any other confirmations. It's a "work in progress." :-) Didn't know about the Charlemagne connection with this line, so will have to follow that as well.

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) . . . Martha Bolling Joe's right, the combitorial explosion of folks is enormous if you can get this link set! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark & Sherry Reeter" <m-sreeter@embarqmail.com> To: <ncwataug@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2008 9:18 AM Subject: Re: [NCWATAUG] Pocahontas & Charlemagne connection > Jon, Can you provide the connection of Pocahontas to Charlemagne that you > mentioned in your e-mail previously? > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: ncwataug-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:ncwataug-bounces@rootsweb.com] > On Behalf Of Jon Smith > Sent: Sunday, January 20, 2008 12:46 PM > To: ncwataug@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [NCWATAUG] Zionville School > > Have you been able to find any other confirmation for your Source #4 to > Pocahontas?
