Greg, I've been looking through your webpage, great stuff! I hope it will continue to clear up the massive amount of misinformation out there on the Gilliam lines. :)
I started researching my history recently after remembering some of the family stories that have been passed down through the generations. It's been exciting to uncover my pioneer and early colonist heritage, and quite a relief to clear up false information.
For folks that are finding their way here via Francis Mabry, we (Mabry line) are NOT DESCENDANTS of Pocahontas. Rather our connection to the Red Bollings is via friendship. Francis and Elizabeth are assumed to have been good friends of John Bolling. Please see "The Pocahontas Tradition, Do some Mabrys descend from Pocahontas?" http://www.mabryfamily.org/http://www.mabryfamily.org/
