I was reading from the The Historic St. Johns site was stated the Reverend Whittaker baptised Pocahontas. He was Rector of Saint Johns, so I assumed he married her there (my mistake). Anyway, I am not trying to change the discussion focus. My point was that the church had members who were Mulatto (Native), and may have had a cemetery on the grounds (albeit seperate), for these members. I guess it should be a question. Would they have had a seperate graveyard on Church grounds for non whites? Also, does anyone know of a Lewis cemetery in Richmond? "The Reverend Alexander Whittaker was appointed rector for this first Henricus church. Whittaker gained fame as the minister who baptized Pocahontas, giving her the Christian name of Rebecca, and who married her to John Rolfe in 1614. In 1617 Whittaker drowned in the James River. His associate William Wickham held the Parish Church together, awaiting the arrival from England of the Reverend Thomas Bargrave in 1619."
