Today was my DAR Chapter's monthly meeting and our topic today was American Indians. The roll call question was, "Do you have an Indian in your family?" My answer was probably, many generations back. So I came home to look back at my family tree and this is what I came across.

"When the English settlers arrived at Jamestown in 1607, the Tidewater area of Virginia had been inhabited for thousands of years by Native Americans. There were many tribes with very specialized religions, life styles, customs and political structures. The tribes were not nomadic but were very settled with large areas of land cleared for agriculture. The Powhatan tribes were located along the waterways and had observed European ships entering the Chesapeake Bay to capture Indians for the slave trade since the mid-1500s. They had witnessed and experienced the deadly effects of cannons, muskets and hangings. The Indians provided the early settlers with food and taught them how to plant corn, to hunt and fish. The need for land and food supplies increased as more ships and many people continued to arrive and the settlement expanded rapidly. The foreign invaders forced the Indians off their ancestral homeland, confiscated their cleared fields, destroyed their longhouses and canoes, stole their corn and desecrated their temples."

* This act prohibits the selling or buying of Indian lands, any contracts are null and void.136
* Any Englishman who cannot produce good evidence of title on Indians lands shall be removed by the sheriff; any constructed buildings are to be demolished and burned.137
* Englishmen within three miles of the Indians are to assist in making a fence around the cornfields of the Indians, in order to protect the crops from the cattle and hogs of the English. It is up to the Indians, however, to maintain the fence.138
* Indians may obtain a license to gather oysters and wild fruits for a given period of time. They, however, may not carry any weapons with them. If the English harm the Indians, the English are to be prosecuted as if the harm had been done to an Englishman.139
* There is to be no trade with the Indians whatsoever except by commissions by the Governor.140
* The Governor to hear disputes of trades with the Indians.141
* An Indian chief cannot be imprisoned without a special warrant from the Governor and two Council members.142
* The Governor is to appoint commissioners without personal interest in the area to go to the Indian towns to tell them of the English acts passed for their protection. Commissioners are to go annually to insure that their (Indians') rights are not being violated.143
* Silver-plated and copper plated badges are to be provided to the chiefs under the protection of the English. Indians, or at least one Indian within the group, coming into English bounds are to wear one of these badges. If the Indians are found in harming any English, the chief associated with the badge will be held responsible. Indians found English bounds without a badge are to be apprehended and taken to a justice of the peace, and held in safe custody until the chief, or "great man," pays 100-arm length of roanoke (shell beads) for each Indian.144
* Any Englishman proven to have taken a badge away from an Indian shall be fined two hours in the "pillory" and 5,000 pounds of tobacco. If the Englishman is unable make such a payment, he is to spend six months in prison.145
* Tributary Indian Kings are to send one of their great men to the English militia at the notice of approaching strange Indians to give a report of their knowledge of the Indian group.146
* The English are not to harbor runaway Indians from their respective tribes.147
* Indian servants are not to be sold as slaves, nor held in service longer than expected of an English servant.148
* Indian servants are permitted only by license obtained from the Governor. The Englishman with the license is responsible for the actions of the Indian servant.149
* Wahanganoche, King of the Patawomeck Indians, is acquitted of murder charges by Captain Giles Brent.150
* Chief Wahanganoche of the Patawomeck Indians is to be paid 200 arms length of roanoke by Captain Giles Brent, and 100 arms length of roanoke by other accusers, Colonel Gerrard Fowke, Mr. John Lord and Captain George Mason. Matchcoats of 20 arms length can be substituted for the roanoke.151
* Colonel Gerrard Fowke is fined 10,000 pounds of tobacco for allowing one of the murderers to escape (presumably an Englishman).152
* Captain Giles Brent and Colonel Gerrard Fowke issued an illegal warrant for Wahanganoche, King of the Patawomeck Indians' arrest. They are fined 15,000 pounds of tobacco. They can no longer hold civil or military positions. Brent is to pay the costs of the witnesses. Fowke is to pay whatever charges remain.153
* Colonel Moore Fantlorey has built a house in the lowland near marshes. It appears that he wants 500 acres of high land ground instead. He is to pay the King of the Rappahannock 15 match coats prior to moving and 30 upon acquiring the uplands.154
* Colonel Moore Fantlorey falsely accused the Rappahannock Chief of not paying tribute to the Governor, Sir William Berkeley. Colonel Moore Fantlorey is relieved of any civil or military office.155
* White receives 10,000 pounds of tobacco from the public trust to compensate for the murder of his son and two servants by Indians.156
* Trade is prohibited with Marylanders and northern Indians, such as the Susquehannocks. It is feared that the well-worn paths will bring danger from northern Indians and they will also trade with the tributary Indians in Virginia, which would hurt the colonists trade with tributary Indians.157
* It appears that Mrs. Mary Ludlow, estate executive for the late Collonel Thomas Ludlow, has encroached upon the Chiskiack Indian land at Pyanketancke. The Ludlow heirs are to have only the land as previously surveyed. A commission appointed by the Governor is to settle all disputes.158
* Wahanganoche, King of the Patawomeck Indians, acknowledged before the committee of Indian businesses [first noticed mention of such a committee] that he has sold a parcel of land to Mr. Peter Austin for matchcoats. Trees will be marked to establish the boundaries of this land.159
* Commissioners appointed by the Governor shall settle Land disputes between Colonel Gerard Fowke and Wahanganoche, King of the Patawomecks.160
* Commissioners appointed by the Governor shall settle Land disputes between Captain Giles Brent and Wahanganoche, King of the Patawomeck Indians.161
* Lieutenant Colonel Goodridge is summoned to appear before the Governor and the Council to answer complaints by the King of the Mattaponi Indians concerning the burning of his English house.162
* John Carter to issue a warrant for William Johnsons concerning whether an Indian boy should remain with the English or be returnedto the Indians.163
* Metappin, a Powhatan Indian, sold for a lifetime of service to Elizabeth Short by the King of the Wainoake (possibly the Weynoke) Indians, is to be set free. The King of the Wainoake Indians could not legally sell Metappin because he was of another nation. Metappin can speak perfect English and desires to be baptized.164
* The Assembly upon the advice of the committee appointed for the Indian business requests that the Governor appoint uninterested person to enquire on differences between the English and the Indians.165

"I'm sure that they went to Wahanganoche and wanted land, but he wouldn't give them any land. So, they accuse him of treason and murder, and he gets hauled down to Middle Plantation, which is Williamsburg today. And he gets tried, and he was found innocent."

Wahanganoche's father was the petty-chief, Japasaw, or more correctly, I-oppasus, who had become the King of Patawomeck by the 1620s. I do not know the wife of Wahanganoche, but I-oppasus had two wives. One whose name I do not know but who was a daughter of Powhatan and I-oppasus' own niece or half-niece. It is possible that she was the daughter of Powhatan called Cahoke or Kaokee, traditionally the ancestor of the Peyton and Roberson families of Patawomeck blood, who was said to have been a daughter of Powhatan. His other wife was Paupauwiske who was known to have had a child, possibly Wahanganoche, as was written about by Henry Spelman. The Curtis family traditionally descends from the Patawomeck Indian girl, Ontonah, left an orphan by the battle of 1666. As the Peyton and Roberson families also descend from her, she may be the link back to the wife of I-oppassus who was the daughter of Powhatan, Kaokee (?).

"a girl named KAOKEE who was traditionally known as the mother of Christian Pettis/Pettus/Pettit/Petty. don't know who her father was"
Ka-Okee married Theodore Pettus, a brother of Col. Thomas Pettus.
Kocoum was father of Ka-Okee. Pocahontas first married Kocoum in 1610. Ka-Okee was raised by the Patawomeck Tribe.
