My Family’s Relationship to Pocahontas

My ancestor Samuel Duval’s first wife was Margaret Sheppard, but Margaret died in 1786′. Afterward, he married Anne Everard Bolling, whose descendant was the John Rolfe who married Pocahontas. Therefore, in a round-about way, I could say that Pocahontas is my step-ancestor.

Pocahontas plays heavily in the history of Jamestown, and my direct ancestor William Claiborne surveyed that area of Virginia for King James. Even though Pocahontas is not in my direct bloodline, I feel sure that my family’s line touched hers–perhaps in more than 1 way.

This is how that genealogical line might look:
