Pocahontas, daughter of Powhatan, born
abt. 1594, married John Rolfe. Through their son, Thomas and his daughter, Jane
Rolfe, who married
Robert Bolling in 1670 and four generations of Bollings thereafter, we come to
the marriage of Hannah Bolling to Solomon Osborne in 1768 in Pike Co., KY.
From their children, we connect to my families of Collier, Tackett, Akers and
Hall. We are not directly related to Pocahontas, though.

Through my 5th great-grandmother, Elizabeth Vaughn, who married Nathaniel
Preston in 1780, in VA, we have to go back 20+ generations... through surnames
of Crew, Ellyson, Gerard, Boteler, Plumpton and deRoss to get to the
Royalty. A deRoss married Isabel of Scotland, who was born about
1170. Her father was William I - King of Scotland (1143), whose father was
Henry - Prince of Scotland (1114). Then, David - King of Scotland
(1080). Then to Malcolm Canmore of Dunkeld - King of Scotland
(1031). Then, Duncan I - King of Scotland (1001) [yes, the
same one killed by MacBeth and chronicled in the movie
"Braveheart"]. His parents were Bethoc - Princess of Scotland
(980) and her husband, Crinan of Dunkeld. Bethoc's father was Malcolm II -
King of Scots. At the top of our list is Kenneth III - King of Scots,
born in the mid 900's. Lots of history that is heavily documented. Very
fascinating stuff! [I am the 30th-great-granddaughter of Kenneth
III.]

My 7th great-grandparents were John Webb Jr. (born 1695) and Mary Boone (born
1699). Mary was the daughter of George Boone III and Mary Milton
Maudgridge. Son of George & Mary, and Mary Boone Webb's brother, Squire Boone was the father of the infamous
Daniel Boone (born 1734).
