Voices of Stafford

Louellen and Rebecca are sisters who have lived in eastern Stafford all their lives. They have Native-American roots and they are descendants of the Patawomeck Tribe which lived, hunted, fished and farmed along the Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers in pre-Colonial times. The Patawomecks were described by John Smith including the local chief who was the brother of Chief Powhatan. Both sisters have extensive knowledge about history and activities in the White Oak section of Stafford County including the transportation of the body of John Wilkes Booth from Caroline county to Washington, DC.
