Sorry about the mixup

What I am saying is, if you read all the records on Pocahontas and Chief Powhatan, it seems that more then just Pocahontas, her husband and child went on the trip. It does not mean that I am saying King James Stewart is involved with any child. Although King James is not by himself at Ham House in Richmond England and he has other family members in the Royal household. If you read the record, it seems the Powhatan family stayed at that household for a little lest then 1 year. Many standard household members didn't not like this one bit. Just recently some researchers are looking into the death of Pocahontas. Some documents point that she may have been poisoned by a jealous houshold member.

In any event i am working on the actions of the Rolfe, Randolph, Blair, Bolling, Stewart and Cromwell families in America. The Cromwell's have connections to the Stewart's and are related to the Gist family and Christopher Gist. Christopher Gist is with George Washington and Jacob Myers visiting Queen Alliquippa in Pittsburgh Christmas Eve 1753.

The Randolph's are related to Thomas Jefferson through his father Peter Jefferson who married a Randolph. Although that Randolph is NOT related to Pocahontas but Thomas Jefferson's daughter married a Randolph who is.

I believe, and it's a big leap, that Queen Alliquippa's real name is Eve Stewart. Alliquippa means Summer Eve or Summer Set or Somerset England where the Washington and Lewis's seem to be from. It's something I have been working on for the last 18 months. I do have lots of records on Peter Jefferson and his 1751 Jefferson/Fry map of Queen Alliquippa's camp. I have records of Pocahontas's family and in laws.

My records are very extensive and it contains the families of Myers, Hays, Mordecai, Powell, Harrison, Lewis, Meriwether, Jefferson, Franklin, Cooper, O'Hara, Lee, Dandridge, Washington and so on.

The connections of Christopher Gist goes from Oliver Cromwell to his grandmother Edith Cromwell to himself to his brother Thomas Gist who married Susan Cockey to her nephew John Cockey Owings to Jacob Myers to Gov Alexander Spotswood the Governor of Virginia.

Each step is well recorded in History with lots of documentation. Such as John Cockey Owings purchased the Slate creek Iron Works from Jacob Myers. John's son Thomas Dye Owings ran the operation. Gov Alexander Spotswood is credited in bring iron making to America and that Jacob Myers family is in Gen Alexander Spotswood Will as Heirs to the Spotswood Estate in Kentucky. Gov Alexander Spotswood started William and Mary College. Joshua Fry was a math teacher at William and Mary collage and friends with Peter Jefferson. Now I am getting way off the subject.

My big point is if you find Stewart's in an area with Cromwell's, you can be sure this is a Royal Line of Stewart's. The Cromwell's and Stewart's seem to be in St. Mary's county MD. Christopher Gist and Jacob Myers seem to be from Baltimore. George Washington of course is from Fredericksburg VA.
