    3. Flora, Check out http://www.co.henrico.va.us/manager/pokeypix.htm which says Pocahontas was known by her people as Amonte. You have too many generations for most agreed upon genealogies. To simplify your search, I think it's save to say all of Pocahontas's descendants flow through John Bolling January 17, 1675/76 and his wife Mary Kennon, who married December 19, 1697. Jane Poythress died one after one child, Thomas Rolfe. This child, Jane Rolfe, died young after one child, John Bolling, as noted above, husband of Mary Kennon Just to complicate matters there is a later couple also named John Bolling and Mary Kennon who married in Abt. 1789. Also check out http://www.geocities.com/Broadway/1001/poca.html I am doing my own study of Poythress descendants based on the work of R. Bolling Batte. It's still in rough form, but it is somewhat complete for six generations nevertheless. I can't find a Newby among them. Sorry. Mr. Batte does have one Newby, Jesse, who lived in 18th Century at http://image.vtls.com/collections/BA.html. If you're interested it is under Newsbett, Card 12-13. Diana
