THOMAS ROPER WILLIAMS b.1808 VA. links ?
I am trying to establish a link from my ancestral grandfather THOMAS ROPER WILLIAMS
b.1808 to ROLFE ELDRIDGE b. 1744 or to his mother MARTHA BOLLING b. 1713 of the POCAHONTAS/ROLFE line.
The information I've gathered so far does not correlate well for the above mentioned gap.I have found mention of the following relationships, however the birth dates and ages surrounding COURTNEY TUCKER ELDRIDGE, her siblings and children are not making sense to me. Courtney would have to be born 1768 for this tree to work. Maybe I'm missing a generation or following the wrong branch?

It is believed that we are descendants of CHIEF POWHATAN and his daughter POCAHONTAS.And since our proven family tree has the names:
...THOMAS ROPER WILLIAMSb.1808 Va.
......+MARYb.1815/16 Va.
...... (2 other children)
...... THOMAS ROPER WILLIAMSb.1840 Al.
...... POCAHONTAS WILLIAMSb.1839 Al.
...... POWHATAN BOLLING WILLIAMS b.1836 Al.
.........+MARYANN LAWRENCEb.1870
......... THOMAS ROPER WILLILAMSb.1871 Al.
......... POWHATAN BOLLING WILLIAMSb.1874 Al.
......... (plus 8 other children)
I too am inclined to "believe" !
However proving it's another matter.

We are of Cherokee descent as well, and are trying to establish the sources.
