I knew that Virginia had a lot of history in terms of Indians, but I had no idea Stafford was so involved. Its interesting to think that 700 years ago, Stafford was populated by a completely different group of people. I find it surprising that so many relatives live so close to where everything happened and were still unaware about their ancestry and what was going on with the whole smithsonian/bone issue.

EMILY MOHRMAN! It IS pretty interesting to know that Stafford County did have different people 700 years ago. I mean back then, you were either white or Indian. Now it's way more diverse. And it's pretty neat to see that ancestors from the Patawomecks' still live here, because after all this action, I'm pretty sure Stafford went through a very long boring period of time. You are pretty good at this summarizing thing...way to go.

I agree with Emily when she says that its pretty cool that Native Americans were living here 700 years ago, because Emily Mohrman KWIM...
pretty good posting you might say. but really I do agree with you 100%. who the heck knew that a random Native American tribe would pop up and lead us to believe something different from what we know. good job Emily Mohrman.
