Brief Life History of Child Pettus on FamilySearch.org (Website) Domein: www.FamilySearch.org |
|
The daughter of Ka-Okee and Col Thomas Pettus, unfortunately, her 1st name is not remembered or recorded. This Pettus daughter married Wahanganoche, King of the Patawomeck, last Great Chief of the Patawomeck actually before the Great Indian Massacre of 1666. The Powhatan Tribes were a matrilineal society, leadership of the tribes was inherited through the female line. The Great Powhatan, Wahunsenacawh, came into power through his mother, those who ruled after him, Opitchipam and Opechancanough were his younger brothers of the same mother. His daughter Pocahontas was of this 'royal' bloodline, as was her daughter Ka-Okee and her daughters. Wahanganoche's own mother, who was Pocahontas's sister, was of this 'royal' bloodline, which gave him the right to rule. It was common for the men of the royal bloodline to marry back into the bloodline to assure their children were eligible to rule as well. By marrying the daughter of Ka-Okee, Wahanganoche insured that their children would carry the royal bloodline and be eligible to become 'Chief' after him. It is believed that Wahanganoche and his 'royal' wife had at least 6 children: 2 sons who escaped the genocide of the Patawomeck in 1666 by fleeing to Maryland and are believed to be the progenitors of the Potomax families. - Keziah Arroyah, who married Richard Bryant - Mary, who married Col. Henry Meese - Grace, who married Col. Peter Ashton - a daughter, name unknown, who married John Grigsby It is not known when Mrs. Pettus-Wahanganoche died. Her husband Chief Wahanganoche was falsely accused of murder in 1662 and found innocent. After being acquitted, while traveling home from the trial in Jamestown, he was murdered. |
