The Randolphs and Their Poca.
hontas Descent.

NY all the Radolphs. Bollings. Carys,
sBlands, and many other families claiming
jdescent. have the blood Of tho Princess
lPocahontas In their veins.,y This erro-
3neous idea is so extensive that II ia nro-
posed to trace the real strain In some Of
the prominent families, to show who are
entitled to the great honor. With this
end In view. We begin with the Ran
dolphs. whose family connections are
SO extensive and give the source by
which they CLAIM, the Indian connection
under the name Of Randolph.
The 5Pocahontas descent Is derived nv
all the Virginia families CLAIMING this
honor only through one source-the one
child Of Pocahontas and John Rolfe,
EIhomas Rolfe, who married Jane Poyy:3s.
!thress. They left but one Child, ane
&Rolfe. She married Colonel Robert
Boiling, the emigrant and dying left one
son. Colonel John Boiling. OF ''Cobbs.'
Colonel Robert Boiling married
second time. and had several sons
and daughters by this second mar
rage: but 1t is only through
John Boiling that the Pocahontas strain
descends. This Colonel John Boiling
married Mary Kennon, by whom we're six
children, one son and five daughters:
h !. Major John Boiling, married IIllza-
beth Blair, daughter OF Dr.. archibald
Blair; issue: nineteen children.
9. Jane Boiling. married Colonel Richard
Randolph, of "Curls,'' on James River:
issue: nine children--nve sons, four dassn
tiers.
B. Mary Boiling, married Colonel John
FLEMING. of Mount Pleasant; issue:
six sons and two daughters.
q. Elizabeth Boiling. married Dr. Will
liam Gray; two sons and three daughters.
O. Martha Boiling, married Thomas
1Ildridge.
g. Ann Boiling, married James Murray,
This ends the fourth IN descent from
Pocahontas. As we SEQ, the eldest daugh-
ter OF John Boiling marries a Randolph,
1t is here where the Randolph Pocahontas
blood starts.
This Colonel Richard Randolph was
the fourth son Of Colonel VIM. Ran
dolph, the emigrant, who settled at Tur-
key island, on James River. He settled
his son Richard on some Of his lands
at 'Curles," OF which has been given in
a previous number. All the descendants,
therefore, of his six brothers., ana two
sisters. have no claim to the Randolph-
Pocahontas stock. Taking the three sons
of Colonel Richard Randolph and Jane
Boiling, who carry the name of Ran
dolps, viz: h f.. ,-E.
