This forum seems to be rolling along quite well. I am learning much. And I stand corrected on the direct line of Pocahontas. I was quoting from memory, from old history books, which someone pointed out, are often flawed. It's like the Mayflower. Everyone in New England was on that ship. My line of Irvines has a similar story. They came over in 1729, on the "George and Ann" supposedly with the McDowells. If everyone you see listed on those ships was really on them, they would have sunk in the British harbor. Ha. I loved the stories about Dunsmore's war. Great stuff. I will see what I have on the Hat Creek Church. Records are slim, due to several fires, but I think I have a list of the elders. All I have to do is find it. Edwin
