I enjoy reading about people that have helped to shape America. Virginia is a wonderful state to have been a vital part of my own life. Growing up at Jamestown, Va helped me to grow as a woman, but a strong woman from my mother’s teachings that I have taken with me into my adult life. Still today, I think about her strong will and determination to achieve goals in this life. My mother is my hero in this life, that taught me about life, not sugar coating any of it. I am proud to read about women that been a part of Native American history and of the hardships people have lived. Thank you for such an opportunity to read about these strong people.

Thanks so much for the comment. Molly was my grandmother and we’re all quite proud of her.
Was Bernard W. Adams a relative of yours? His father’s name was Cleveland Lee Adams and his mothers name was Lucy Jane Dungee Adams. Please disregard this post comment if those names are not familiar to you.
Thank you,

I have traced my lineage back to a George Sizemore of a tribe in Virginia. I believe he was Mattaponi. George was born in Montgomery County Virginia. Is there anyway for me to find out? His father was Edward “Old Ned” Sizemore. Any help would be great. I just want to find out more about him as I have all of my other ancestors. He’s one of the few early ancestors I have pictures of and for some reason he just intrigues me.
Thanks!
Monica
