I will purchase one 12 marker DNA test for a documented descendant of Henry Anderson of Virginia who was born about 1680. This Henry Anderson married Prudence Stratton of Henrico County, Virginia in about 1706. In 1717 this Henry Anderson purchased 500 acres in Henrico County on the North side of Appomattox River. This Henry Anderson was Justice of the Peace for Henrico County in 1719 and Sheriff in 1729. The person to be tested must be a male with an Anderson surname. The person to be tested must be able to show a documented direct line to the above Henry Anderson. Our Anderson line has a paper trail to the above Henry Anderson. We would like to confirm that connection with a DNA match. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Paul K. Anderson, Jr. PO Box 2073 Rocky Face, GA 30740 706 275 0879 pka@optilink.us

I had read that she seemed to have had a brief marriage before. This might have been mostly ceremonial or a betrothal or something, as she was around 11 or 12 when the English arrived. She was, tho, kidnapped at one point by the English and held in the fort at Jamestown, I believe it was while John Smith and other leaders were away, and the men left behind got pretty out of control. Her story is very complex, "The New World" is the only movie I've seen that really goes into it all. Eventually her father disowned her, after her helping the English so much and the English raids and depradations, and sent her to live with her mother's people, the Potawomack Indians on the Rappahannock River. She was later traded for a copper pot and brought back to Jamestown by the English. I don't know if her father ever saw her again after he banished her to the Potawomack. But when he heard of her death, he removed himself to a village as far as he could get from the whites and died a year or so later; he obviously still loved her greatly to the end.

Anita, Pocahontas certainly wasn't kidnapped. She was given in marriage by her father, the chief of the Powhatans, just as European royalty arranged marriages between their children to form alliances. She may or may not have been asked how she felt about it, but I'm sure her tribe accepted that as business as usual. Do you have the citation for her being married before?

We are all speculating on how Pocahontas felt. The only account taken into consideration is the European account. It is the height of arrogance to speak for someone else (This still goes on today, with Bush on TV speaking for the people of Iraq). Do you think that the Royal family in England does not promise their children in marriage? Why would it be any different for Pocahontas? Everyone wants to believe in fairy tales and happy endings. I certainly do not believe that the Indians gave away their daughters, or sold them into slavery. A marriage union was a means of continuity for the tribe. I posted a link to the Powhatans, who know more about Matoeka (who you call Pocahontas), then Walt Disney. Anita Here are two links with views on Pocahontas.

A short history of St John's Episcopal Church, Richmond, Va. _St. John's Episcopal Church - Richmond, Virginia--_ (http://www.historicstjohnschurch.org/pages/history.htm#toppage) The cemetery that surrounds St. John's belongs to the city. It was the only public cemetery in Richmond for a time. The next cemetery was Shockoe and the next was Oakwood. Hope this helps. C. Terry

I also think it might not be wise to think of these native young women as captives held against their will and forced to marry the English. There might have been a few, but probably most weren't. Consider in native cultures it was a common and accepted practice for someone from one tribe to be captured (in war or kidnapping) and brought to live with another tribe, many times to replace a son or daughter who had died or been killed in a war. Sometimes they may have been harshly treated as slaves, but many times they were adopted into a new family and well treated. They accepted this, lived with and married into their new family and tribe. So to these young women, it really wasn't an alien practice.

that's interesting about Rolfe marriage-- what is the documentation for it being there?

I am learning from everyone here. Please don't take my accounting as gospal, it is just what I got out of different sites I read. I believe I said my understanding was, or something to that effect. This is a very informative thread, and please keep the information flowing. I have been on this list quite a while and this is the first time I have really paid attention to a thread.

she actually wasn't that unique in terms of marrying the white colonists, it was pretty common (my own ancestor was a Powhatan girl named Anna Little Flower) but she made such an impact because of her position as the favored daughter of an important chief. She could and did aid the English in ways no one else could, and John Rolfe was from a very wealthy and prominent family, so that gave her entry to the court in England, which most native women marrying most white settlers would never be able to do.

this is the mistake- it is the Henricus church, which was at the fort of Henricus, not at the present location of St. John's Church on Church Hill in Richmond. St. John's wasn't established till the early 1700s, it could not have been the same minister anyway. Henrico County was also named for this prince Henry, so it might be confusing. If you are speaking of mulattos buried at the Henricus Church, which could very well be, it is probably now dug away by the quarrying operation. In the early days of settlement it is estimated that 40% of the male colonists married native women. There was a huge shortage of women in the colony early on, and a very high death rate for those who did come. So there were many mullattos at the time, tho I am not sure they were all called that. I doubt John Rolfe and Pocahontas's son was called that. Of course, in some later documents anyone who was of mixed ancestry, black or native, was called "colored." You don't say where you are or if you have ever visited St. John's Church, but the burial ground is very small, no room for sections anyway.

St. John's didn't exist when Pocahontas was married. It might have been at the church at Jamestown, or the settlement of Henricus, farther up the James River toward Richmond, which was wiped out in the massacre of 1622. There is a recreated fort and native village, etc. there now, her husband John Rolfe lived in the vicinity; the original location is lost, it was dug up during quarrying operations some years ago. I don't know if there were freedmen's cemeteries in the Richmond area in the early 1800s, there were a lot of free blacks living in the city. If they weren't free, then they were buried on the master's plantation or farm.

At the same time, equating someone who was essentially a peace blessing between two peoples to meaning that every native could be treated in such a fashion is not a good analogy. The reason we know Pocahontas is largely because of her uniqueness.

Hi: Pocahontas and John Rolfe were married on April 5, 1614 at the Jamestown Anglican Church with the blessing of Powhatan, who sent an envoy to the wedding. Bernie

sorry, back in those days- and even till recently- there were separate cemeteries for persons of color. Very often back then, tho, even for whites, they were buried on the family property, even if it was within the city. A minority of residents were buried at St. John's, and of course you had to be Anglican, and a member of the congregation, it was not a public cemetery.

The point I was attempting to make was that some natives were members of the Episcopalian Church. There was an edict passed that stated Natives were to be converted to Christianity. The other point I was making is that my ancestors who were Mulatto, were members of the Episcopalian Church. I at no time stated that all Natives were Christians, or encouraged to be.
