What a fantastic presentation - thank you so much! I have a 'Smith' connection and a county name, so hopefully I will be able to dig up further information and possibly go back in time from there, too. There is family lore that we are related to Pocahontas (as I suppose are millions? of others), and trying to verify if there's any truth to that.

My earliest American ancestor was Capt. Thomas Harris who arrived in Jamestown in 1610/1611. His first , wife Adria Hoare, was the mother of his two children, Mary and Maj. William are both my direct ancestors when Obediah Harris, Sr. married his distance cousin Elizabeth Watkins, daughter of Silas Watkins,

I am 9 Robinson generations down from Virginia to Georgia.
