I know a couple of people who can here in Virginia. There are those who can trace theirs to Pocohantas and John Rolfe. One I know has dark skin and black hair which he claims he inherited from her.

Or so she says. I've never verified her claims myself.

Yes, but not to John Smith or Pocahontas.

I can trace back to Captain John Claye/Clay, who arrived at Jamestown in 1613 on the Treasurer, which was sent to protect the settlers. I believe he was supposed to relieve or replace Captain John Smith.

Father was born in Jamestown (New York). Does that count?

Go back to 1500's Spanish in California. Then back to the Old Country.

My DH had a job for a while in which he had to translate old microfilmed land grant records (not only from California, but also Texas, New Mexico, and I forget where-all else). He said that the archaic Spanish words - especially some of the verb forms - were like trying to read "Don Quixote" all over again (which both of us had to do in university.)

Don't have any kin from Jamestown, though.

I have one young couple who were in VA early enough (1624) to qualify me for the Jamestowne Society and four more who served in the House of Burgesses before the government was moved to Williamsburg. These people didn't actually LIVE in Jamestown, but up river. However, they went to Jamestown for government meetings.

With all the archaeology being done now in Jamestown, it's an awfully interesting place. Try to visit sometime!

Was able to trace back a line on my mothers side to an uncle of Pocahontas. There were about 3 generations of the European men who married Indian wives. Interesting stuff. The one cool thing about being LDS was doing all that geneology research I did.

Thumbs up on the House of Burgesses, the Mayflower, and Daniel Boone. If my batshit crazy TBM mother were alive, I could ask her and she'd be able to rattle off specifically who. Since she's dead, it ain't gonna happen. That, and I'm not ambitious enough to go digging through all of her genealogy right now.

I'm in the UK and I'm not aware that any of my family went to Jamestown. However, my own family history can be traced way back as outlined in this book:

History of the Lancashire Family of xxxxxxx and Its Branches from 1066 to 1600:

Jacobus, who became Bishop of Durham, was instrumental in the writing of the Book of Common Prayer. Also founded a school that still exists today.

I have to keep the family name out of this as it might give away my identity as we still live in the same region and carry the surname through the generations.
