Research Notes

Documentation exists to confirm this person's existence (the 1840 census). However, his parental relationships may have been fabricated to claim descent from Pocahontas. See Bolling Pocahontas Fabrication for a fuller understanding of how the fabrication came to be, who was involved, and the specific ancestry claimed for this person.

The parents have been marked as Uncertain Existence, and his relationship to them marked as uncertain. If it is confirmed that those connected as parents never actually existed, they will be disconnected.
