Jamestown Exposition Plate of Pocahontas
As far back as I remember, we had this plate hanging in our home. When my parents died, my sister kept it hanging in her home, and at her death, I received it an d it now hangs in my home. I love it because my father used to say with a twinkle in his eye, "I went to the Jamestown Exposition in 1907. We always said "My Daddy took me and my Mama brought me home!" Recently, I got the matching plate of Captain John Smith. I went to the Jamestown Festival of 1957. I am sorry that I did not get to the one in 2007. I hope someone in the family did. We did have ancestors at Jamestown on May 13, 1607. They very soon moved to Surry and were there til my grandfather moved to Suffolk, so I feel a special connection.
