My uncle, a genealogy nut informed me that I am a direct descendant of the father of Pocahontas. Here's the lineage given to me by my uncle Chuck. Running Stream Powhatan (1510-1600) married Mrs. Scent Morning Flower Powhatan. They had Emperor Wahunsenacawh Powhatan (Great Chief or Great King Powtan as seen in the picture on the left).
Emperor Wahunsenacawh Powhatan married Mrs. Namona Amopotuskee. They had Princess Cleopatria Powhatan (1610 - 1720) who is a half sister of Pocahontas (see chart).
Princess Cleopatria married Emperer OM Powhatan. They had Princess Nicketti Powhatan (1644 ~1700).
Princess Nicketti Powhatan married Capt. John (Rice or Rees) Hughes (1615 - 1680 born in Scotland). They had Robert Hughes (1653 1681).
Robert Huges married Mrs. Sarah Hughes around approx 1663. They had Elizabeth Hughes (1690 to before 1800).
Elizabeth Huges married John Morton (1684-1752). They had Stephen Morton (1710-1793).
Stephen Morton married Mrs. Stephen Morton. They had James Blythe Morton (1758-1807).
James Blythe Morton married Catherine (Kitty) Wells. They had Joseph Morton (1780-1823).
Joseph Morton married Cicily Catherine Morton. They had James W. Morton (1796-1849).
James W. Morton married Clementine Irland (1838-1900). They had Jane Ann Morton (1858-1941).
Jane Ann Morton married Charles Dickson Davis (1855-1923). They had Charles Addison Davis (1883-1965).
Charles Addison Davis married Ruth Virginia Hancock (1895-1927). They had Charlotte Ester Davis (1919-2004).
Charlotte Ester Davis married my grandfather (1918-1997). And my mother was born.
She married my father. And they had me! Yes, me. Your very own deaf blogger, Kokonut Pundit, has indian Powhatan royal blood in him. Of course, I still hold some reservation on this until I see it in more details and the accuracy of the time (especially the dates).
Now you know the rest of the story!
Who knew I could be related to the father of Pocahontas and that she was my great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great aunt. And that Emperor Wahunsenacawh Powhatan was my great (9 greats) grandfather. In terms of blood division, I'm 1/2048th Powhatan blood!
As a side note, and this is with much more solid evidence, I have a Cherokee grandmother (great, great, great, great, great, great grandmother), Rebecca Nakisha Sutton (Cherokee Tribe 1790) who married William Buck L Sutton. I am 1/128th Cherokee indian blood as well.
Rebecca Nakisha Sutton (Cherokee Tribe 1790). She married William Buck L Sutton (he is listed as being born into the tribe, but his parents have anglo names). Below is the lineage along with blood division.
1/2 - They had Luticia Nakisha Sutton. She married David Alexander Reynolds (1801-1853).
1/4 - They had Amy Reynolds (1824-1874). She married James Alonzo Clayton Hancock (1829- 1904).
1/8 - They had John Francis Hancock. He married Mary Etta Stone (1865-1950).
1/16 - They had Ruth Virginia Handcock. She married Charles Addison Davis (1883-1965)
1/32 - They had Charlotte Ester Davis (1919-2004). She married my grandfather. (1918-1997). And my mother was born.
1/64 - She married my father.
1/128 - And they had me!
The lineage to Emperor Wahunsenacawh Powhatan (the father of Pocahontas) begins with Charles Addison Davis. While the lineage to my Cherokee grandmother begins with my grandmother Charlotte Ester Davis (see bold red).
I have never been proud of my indian bloodline until today. Could this mean I have indian royalty blood in me? Hmmm....
Thank you Uncle Chuck!
