Description

Crossing the Atlantic Ocean by 1621 Elizabeth was married and living near Jamestown, Virginia in British Colonial America.  She was only 7 miles away from the Powhatan Uprising of 1622.  Her children prospered by transporting people to the colony in exchange for land.  I was able to trace her grandchildren by reading the wills of her boys: John and Francis Stockley.  The third son she named Woodman after her maiden name.  Elizabeth Woodman Stockley left a legacy; in my tree are named 27 men with the name of Woodman.
