Don't know if any of this pertains to anyone on the list, but thought I would pass it on just in case. It is an Ebay listing for a whole lot of genealogical items referencing SW Virginia. Looks to me like things that ought to be in a museum somewhere!!! The URL for the site is listed after the description. Kat "Up for bids here is a wealth of information and treasures of the Bolen and Leftwich families, one of which (Bolen) are direct descendants of the marriage of Pocahontas and John Rolfe. There are letters, birth certificates, family trees, 17 tintypes, 10 photographs, newspaper clippings, what looks like an entire newspaper section from a Hillsville, Carroll County VA. paper dated 1920. The collection includes an old photograph album (looks Victorian or pre-Victorian),full of photos which are well labeled (see pic), all but one, which is a tintype of two soldiers with rifles who appear to be either Civil War or Spanish-AmericanWar. There is a mourning band, a woven ribbon, a leather folder; there are 63 paper items, including letters detailing the geneaology of the descendants of the union of Pocahontas and John Rolfe.This lot could be a great treasure for anyone from either of the Bolen or Leftwich families, their descendants, or anyone interested in Pocahontas and John Rolfe." http://cgi.ebay.com/Pocahontas-Rolfe-Leftwich-Bolen-Hillsville-VA-Records_W0QQitemZ170191706824QQihZ007QQcategoryZ20926QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I asked the e-Bay seller what family names were represented in the photo album for sale...The answer follows: "There are many Bolens and Leftwich's and Morris'; there are also one or more of the following: Quesinberry, Slate, Mitchell, Leatherwood, Cook, Coltrane, and Snider. There is, in addition, a very long letter dated 1916 that outlines the generations following the union of Pocahontas; concluding who exactly of all Bolen descendants is descended from Pocahontas, and declaring that the correct (original) spelling of the name is Bolling." http://cgi.ebay.com/Pocahontas-Rolfe-Leftwich-Bolen-Hillsville-VA-Records_W0QQitemZ170191706824QQihZ007QQcategoryZ20926QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Here is the link if you are interested in viewing... I have nothing to do with the listing of this item on eBay (I would never sell personal items like this on eBay)? I also think they should be donated...

I looked at the photos posted with this sale on Ebay and realized that one thing I was seeing was evidently the back of a photograph with the names listed. Here are the names I was able to read: Homer Leftwich, Emma Leftwich Quesinberry, Walter Leftwich, Marcus Leftwich, Rebecca leftwich, Marshall Leftwich, Wesley A Leftwich, Claude Leftwich, Howard Leftwich, Bayne Leftwich, Addie Leftwich, Jean Leftwich, James Leftwich, Helen Quesinberry, Hazel Quesinberry, Claudia Quesinberry. In another photo, there is a close up of two pages of a photo album and you can make out the names: Albert Lyon, Mary Ellie (or Ellen) Bolen Don't know if anyone recognizes these names in their genealogy, but thought I'd share what I could read, any way. Just hate to see this treasure trove end up in the hands of people who don't know the family.
