Here is some documentation on my ancestors that triggered my initial question. The LaForce family resided in Goochland Co., VA, home of the Pamunkey, prior to their departure for Rudell's & Martin's Forts in KY. My line comes from Betty, Hannah & Candis.

Thanks again for your help in trying to resolve the Slave/Indian question.
