Thank you, Ellen, for the URL. In the Records of the Virginia Company I found an order by the Governor of Virginia dated 4 March 1622 in which is noted the "treachery of the Indians on the 22nd day of March last". This would place the date of the massacre as 22 March 1621 (Julian), rather than 1622, and could be written today as 1621/22. This is a transcript, but I doubt entire dates would have been miscopied twice (the date of the document and date of the massacre). This hasn't solved the Maycock question, but at least we should now all be starting with the correct date of the massacre. This paper can be found in: The Thomas Jefferson Papers Series 8.

Oh yes, sorry, I jumped to the conclusion (tssk) that the "image" button was for an image of the original, but it's just an image of the transcript page. I can't see how it's possible to solve the Sarah Maycock question through the dates and the single record of young Sarah's age. The known dates don't seem to rule out either Sarah Maycock (Samuel's daughter) or Mrs Sarah Maycock (Samuel's widow). Ellen MAC <olems@bellsouth.net> wrote: Thank you, Ellen, for the URL.
