My husband is also descended from Pocahontas and John Rolfe via the  
Flemings, I don't have it all committed to memory, but his father (a  
Harrison) was very interested in the family tree. Like the joke  
warning goes: be careful what you say about somebody in Virginia; if  
you go far enough back, they're all related to each other.

And don't we know it...
