• Notes

  The Pettus family was a wealthy and prestigious family in Europe. This is what made his daughters whose mother was an Indian maiden and grand-daughter of Pocahontas, a real catch for the wealthy land-owners founding Jamestown. They were raised as English woman and were half English, from this prestigious Pettus pedigree. There was an extreme early shortage of women in Jamestown, accentuating this need by the founders of Jamestown.
