Genealogy Bits 'n Pieces

Almost everyone reading this blog knows I have delved in genealogy for 30 years or so, after being motivated by my mother and several of her siblings. The following is a piece of fruit from all that work....

My mother is Blanche Haddix Landrum
Her mother was Maude Noble Haddix
Her mother was Margaret Campbell Noble
Her mother was Rachel Allen Campbell
Her mother was Susan Sizemore Allen
Her mother was Louanna Bolling Sizemore
Her father was William Bolling
His father was Benjamin Bolling
His father was Major John Bolling
His father was Colonel John Bolling
His mother was Jane Rolfe Bolling
Her father was Thomas Rolfe
His mother was Pocahontas
And her father was Powhatan!

So, if I count correctly, Pocahontas is my eleventh great-grandmother! Some sources say that the husband of Pocahontas, Sir John Rolfe, was the first person in America to import slaves to work his huge plantation.
