There are many tales in the Floyd and other Virginia families of a kinship to her, primarily through young Nicketti, a great grandaughter of Powhatan and a great niece of Pocahontas. Nicketti and a Welsh settler, Hughes, had Elizabeth Hughes about 1655, who in turn married Nathaniel Davis. Their grandaughter Abadiah married William Floyd, John Floyd's father. Much of this can never be proven, but is curious as it might well be so. Certainly the family says so. Pocahontas' husband remarried at her death and also figures in these notes. This is the English painting which hangs in the National Portrait Gallery, Washington, DC.
