"This," he says with unction, "is Sir Solomon Sculpin,
the founder of the family."
"Famous for what?" we ask respectfully.
"For founding the family."
"This," he says, pointing to a dame in hoops and
diamond stomacher, "this is Lady Sheba Sculpin."
"Ah, yes. Famous for what?" we inquire.
"For being the wife of Sir Solomon."

APPENDIX III
SOME ROYAL DEDUCTIONS.
"Nearly all of the great historic houses that were famous in
the middle ages and were allied to royalty have died out in the
male line." says a recent writer in the "Athenasenum," "but the
Herald's Visitations having very fully recorded the alliances of
their female descendants, a vast number of persons can be shown
to descend from the great families whose titles and surnames are
extinct, but who boasted of royal descent, and many are descended
from our early kings. The fact that in England there has never
been the same rigid separation of classes which has prevailed
upon the Continent has greatly facilitated the transmission of
the blood of our Norman and Angevine kings, through the nobility
and aristocracy to the masses."
It must not then be considered strange if at the close of
this chapter it be shown that our emigrant ancestor could claim
descent from some of the early kings of England. William the
Conqueror, if he were now alive, might, like Abraham, number his
seed like the stars of Heaven. (Genesis xv., 5). His
descendants, at the least calculation, number one hundred and
fifty million. On the other hand, if we trace back our ancestry,
twenty-seven generations, to the time of the Norman conquest, we
find that, if no allowance is made for crossing of different
lines of descent, each of us had over seventy-five million
ancestors. This is of course absurd, and only shows us that we
are lineal descendants of the majority, if not all, of the
Normans, Saxons and Celts in England in the eleventh century, and
that if we wish to know the history of or forefathers we need
only to study that of the English people.
At the same time. though few can trace back their ancestors
in every line of descent more than three generations, it is
interesting too know something of types picked out for us by
accident among those who carried about in their bodies parts of
our own components five, ten or fifteen generations ago.
I do not hesitate, therefore, to print another series of
deductions which I find in my genealogical portfolio.
This pedigree was prepared as a diversion one afternoon in
the British Museum, when weary of long continued scanning of
manuscript records, I resolved, in a somewhat venturesome mood, to
follow Guullim and some of the early pedigree-writers as far as
they might lead into the arcana of family tradition. These lists
of names, taken from old works on heraldry, are reproduced here
rather as souvenirs of a "book-worm's enjoyment" in rummaging
than with the intimation that they possess value as historical
statements of fact. I may say, however, that the deduction in
the Scotch line going back as it does seventy generations and
twenty-two centuries, almost as many years before the English
settled England, as have passed since the Norman occupation of
the same region, appears to me to be a kind of powerful aid to
the imagination in the effort to appreciate certain kinds of
historical facts. Unworthy of credance as it may be, it
doubtless, like all traditionary history, contains here and there
a kernal of truth, and like the other pedigrees here given, even
if it be not exactly accurate, is unquestionably "something like
the truth." I only regret that I could not have found the famous
Scotch pedigree which was said to be preserved by Noah among the
ship's papers of the Ark. It could not be more than twice as
long as this:
DESCENT FROM THE SCOTCH KINGS.
Sixty generations, beginning and ending, as follows)
1. Ferchar, or Ferodach, a | 59. Philip of Penkevill
prince of Scots in | and Rosorropw, d. 1562

2. Doda d. 640 | m. Richard Goode,
3. Pepin d'Heristal, d. 714. | No. 60 of first list.
DESCENT FROM THE KINGS OF VIRGINIA
"Whitby" was, as we have seen, in immediate proximity to one
of the principal residences of Powhatan, and came into possession
of the Goodes within forty years of his death, in 1618. Col.
John Bolling, of "Cobbs," great-grandson of Pocahontas, was a
contemporary and near neighbor of John Goode of "Whitby," and
"Oropax," the burial place of Powhatan, was very close to
"Winepeck," the plantation of Samuel Goode, No. 32, his eldest
son. It is not strange, therefore, the the blood of the two
families should have mingled in later generations, and I find
about 400 of the people namesd in the book may claim descent from
"The Nonparella of Virginia." Judge Robertson's recently
published "Pocahontas and her Descendants" embraces only seven
generations and omits some of the lines of descent included in
this book. The following "key" is intended to extend and amplify
certain portions of Judge Robertson's tables:
POWHATAN or Wahunsonacook, "the mighty Weroance who ruled over
Attanougkomouck or Virginia," b. 1530-60, d. 1618.
POCAHONTAS, "The Nonparella of Virginia," also known as Matoaca
(White Feather) and "The Lady Rebecca," b. 1595, d. 1616, m. John
Rolfe.
Lieut. Thomas Rolfe, b. 1615, m. Jane Poythress.
Jane Rolfe, b. 1655-56, d. 1676, m. Col. Robert Bolling,
(1646-1709.)
Col. John Bolling, of "Cobbs," m. Mary Kennon.
* * *
Sarah (b. 1748), m. John Tazewell.
(Her granddaughter did not marry Hon. W. O. Goode, No. 241, as
stated in "Pocahontas."

"I for my part venerate the inventor of indexes, and I know
not to whom to yeild the preference, either to Hippocrates, who
was the first great anatomiser of the human body, or to that
unknown laborour in literature who first laid open the nerves and
arteries of a book."-- ISAAC DISRAELI.
----------------
The references in brackets folowing each surname are
intended to serve as a key to all printed pedigrees of Southern
families embracing three generations or more....
The figures in this index, unless preceeded by the letter
"p," refer to the entry numbers of the individual, and not to the
pages....
The list of families, about two hundred in all, claiming the
right in colonial days to use arms, has been revised and extended
by Mr. Brock.
[The index, as you will note from the abbreviated
information, above, is much more than just that-- indexing much
beyond the contents of the book. It is is available in the
original book. The index covers many, if not all, of the
"Principal Works of Reference," which precedes this page. Ed.]
