The story we know is not true. Actually the colonist landed in an area of 14,000 Native Americans and in the worse land in the area. Powhatan pretty much left them alone. I think he figured that they would die from the bad water and disease . He was fairly right. Within 6 months there were only 34 men left alive of the 104 who came. It wasn't until after his death that the brother of Powhatan attacked the colony. The story about Smith is also not true. He did NOT save Jamestown. He was only there a very few months and he lied about his contribution to the settlement in a book he wrote several years later. He also made up the story about Pocahontas and she died young so couldn't refute his story. The man who did save Jamestown was the husband of Pocahontas and gave tobacco seeds to the colony. That was John Rolfe.

The Colours and Standards captured at Naseby were taken to London where, in the customary way, they were paraded through the streets as a celebration of the victory (a similar thing happened after Blenheim, Ramillies, etc. etc.). There is a contemporary account of this in a newspaper in the Thomason Tract collection entitled 'The Manner How Prisoners are to be Brought into the City of London this Present Saturday being the 21. oif June, 1645' (TT E288.45). What happened to the colours after that is uncertain but it seems likely that they were hung up in Westminster Hall, where Parliament sat and where previous trophies had been taken, and that they stayed there until 1660 when, shortly before the King was due to enter London, it was decided it would be a good idea for them to be taken down. Where they went then is a mystery although many years ago I recall talking to Lawson Nagel who suggested that they had probably gone to the College of Heralds and that maybe, just maybe, somewhere in the College's records is a mention of them. I hope that this helps Stephen Ede-Borrett

Captain John Smith did not marry Pocahontas. Pocahontas was forced to marry John Rolfe, and had to come to London with him when he left Jamestown. She died by age 21.

Pocahontas (c. 1595 - March 21, 1617), later known as Rebecca Rolfe, was a Virginia Indian chief's daughter notable for having assisted colonial settlers at Jamestown. She converted to Christianity and married the English settler John Rolfe. After they traveled to London, she became famous in the last year of her life. She was a daughter of Wahunsunacawh, better known as Chief or Emperor Powhatan (to indicate his primacy), who headed a network of tributary tribal nations in the Tidewater region of Virginia (called Tenakomakah by the Powhatan). These tribes made up what is known as the Powhatan Chiefdom and spoke a language of the Algonquian family.

Mike Stokes, Bill Thomas, Craig Esherick, Mike MacDermott, Jeff Bullis, David Blue, Terry Fenlon, Emmet Fitzgerald, David Dunn (transferred to Alabama), Brian Kelly, Vladimir Bosanac, Mike Sabol (transferred to American), and Brendan Gaughan were all Caucasian players under scholarship during John Thompson Sr.'s (JT) tenure at Georgetown. Actually during the 1970s, several Caucasian basketball players were quite prominent and even had starting roles when JT was coach. Mike Stokes was part of the first recruiting class (Class of 1976) under JT. He had significant playing time and showed a lot of promise during his freshman year, but I do not know what happened afterwards. Other Caucasian players including Thomas, Esherick, MacDermott, and Bullis also had significant playing time either as starters or important role players during the 70s. It was during the 1980s that JT apparently stopped using white basketball players. He did recruit a few though (including Danny Ferry and Rex Chapman) but they went elsewhere. That was when the perception was created that JT was allegedly a racist who refused to utilize white players. He didn't have a single Caucasian player on scholarship from 1984 until the end of the 80s. During the early 1990s, JT had several Caucasian players on the roster, but most were benchwarmers and only Brian Kelly had a significant role. Afterwards, JT again stopped using Caucasian players and through most of the 1990s, there was not a single Caucasian player on Georgetown's basketball team (not even as a walk-on or benchwarmer).

My Great Grandfather Mathew Callan moved to Durham ( Kelloe area) from Ireland as a child. After much searching we found that on his marriage certificate he was a Collin(s) as was his father also Mathew. Immediately after he either changed his name to Callan or the Registrar misheard him re his marriage certificate. Throughout his life he was called Callan as were all of his children and are still through the generations. I'm afraid I don't know of any link to Micheal Collins. Mathew was married in 1871 to (Mary )Jane Stones. Wonder if your family is the same Best wishes Chrys Callan

Pocahontas was a Native American from the paramount tribe, acknowledged for her actions with the colonial settlement at Jamestown Virginia. When Pocahontas was twelve, she saved her friend John Smiths life after he and his exploration team trespassed on paramount lands. Pocahontas's father Chief Powhatan was going to execute them but before he could Pocahontas threw herself on John Smith preventing her father from killing him.
