Family tradition has us descended from Pocahontas. Can’t prove it, but it’s not at all implausible when you trace the family tree and the history attached.
So, my native part forgives my English part for ruining the neighborhood.
And my English part forgives my native part for all the vicious atrocities committed by the Powhatans, like those that were perpetrated against the Virginia settlers in 1622. I’m positive that my Proctor ancestors had to endure that.

There.
Now move on with life and thank God you’re an American.
I’m legendarily descended from Opechancanough, half brother of Chief Powhatan. How that came to be wasn’t pretty, and it happened in 1622.
Hey, we could be related. I think I have seen the Proctor name on some of the cousin lines.
Also have Pocahontas in the family tree.
On my dad’s side they first came here in the early 1620’s. I know the ship and the year but I never post that info. They were originally in the Virgina area.
