Hello, Since I started this thread, I thought I should follow up. Henry, I just wanted to add that this information (Martiau/Washington) is fairly obscure (in my opinion), and I only stumbled upon it by accident while studying the players in the 1635 rebellion. Washington/Martiau caught my attention because of the ironies of the double connection to Yorktown and both being rebellions of a sort--one of those tidbits that makes history so much fun! Also, Dan, you're so right about Martha McCartney's *Virginia Immigrants and Adventurers, 1607-1635* and Dorman's *Adventures of Purse and Person* being trusted and invaluable in Jamestown research. What would we do without them? (I didn't cite my sources, but before I posted about Martiau, I verifed my information in McCartney. And I verified Washington's connection to Martiau in *Adventures of Purse and Person*. It's always safe to check! I didn't list the mother of Martiau's daughter Elizabeth because it didn't seem to be clear. The other connections seem fairly certain, according to Dorman. So, apologies to the list for not citing sources. It didn't occur to me.) As an aside, when using McCartney's book, I've found a good research technique to be taking an entry's list of sources and then going directly to those sources. A biographical entry doesn't allow all of the rich detail that is sometimes available, and we know a surprising amount about the lives of the colonists--not as much as we could, but more than we might.
