I want to add that I have 5 rather large full boxes of documents on this subject. Everything is more or less confined to a 50 ft circle in a grave yard in Mckeesport/Pittsburgh. The history of the area and the graveyard land is very clear. Peter Jefferson who is Thomas Jefferson's father gave this land to Queen Alliquippa in 1751. He drew up a map that clearly shows her camp and that camp is what is now the graveyard.
Peter Jefferson is married to a Randolph who is said NOT to be related to Pocahontas. Although, Thomas Jefferson's daughter is married to a Randolph who clearly IS a descendent of Pocahontas.
The 50 ft circle of cemetery land is owned by 5 families including my own family. Cemetery records show they appear to be related to each other and most were buried more then 100 years ago.
What I am trying to do is piece together these people by Historical records. Records are again very clear at the start. Christmas Eve 1753 Christopher Gist, George Washington and Jacob Myers were in the camp. If I can believe James McHenry's Book Published around 1825, Stewart Royal family members are also in the camp dressed up as Native Americans.
I know for sure that Christopher Gist is related to Oliver Cromwell so with that, I am working the issue.
