      Descendants of Sir William Skrymsher
      There was a Roger Marshall that was married to Katherine Mytton(aka Catherine Mitton) that had a son named Roger.
      Here's where things get murky. Some show Roger Marshall that married Catherine Mitton as the son of Robert Marshall and Joan Owsley (and have Roger born in Sommersetshire,England) while others as the son of Richard Marshall and Joah Benyon (and Roger born in Shropshire, England). So far the only descendant of Roger Marshall and Catherine Mittion that I've found in America is Elizabeth Marshall married to Thomas Lewis d. 1640 in Maine.

      Folklore and Folklife in Virginia

      Defamation did not always consist of criminal allegations. Often it took the form of aspersions against a person's social rank or background. Insults against an individual's social rank might focus on his or her parentage. In Northampton County in 1643, Roger Marshall and Richard Hill both testified that Thomas Parks had slandered a Mr. Yeardley by claiming that Yeardley's father had been a tailor and his mother a midwife, "not to honourable citizens but to byeblows."

      mm note: as far as I can figure, fort royal would have been reached by sailing up the York river to West Point, Virginia where the river splits into the the Pamunkey river and Mattaponi river. The current day Pamunkey Indian Reservation is 17 miles by road and 12 miles as the crow flies up the Pamukey River.

      Title: "The Virginia Indian Trade to 1673."
      Citation: William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine series 2, 1 (October 1921): 217-36.

      Maybe the old Opechancanough of Virginia, seeing how the Maryland Indians stood of their own accord, waited for a time he judged fitting and then struck. Some people thought the civil strifes in England had something to do with unsettling the Indians, whose unsettling at any time needs no long explanatory argument. However it was, the Indians of Maryland were on bad terms with their European neighbors by 1641. And year 1644 Indians of Virginia came down for another massacre. But a few months before, government had made proclamation for a Day of Thanksgiving, in memory of the 22nd of March 1622. The warring that followed gave, in Virginia, a notable impulse to the organization of the Indian Trade.

      April 1644, the Opechancanough’s people came down to slay. ’They slew, and if they had held firm they might have retarded Virginia greatly. Luck was with the English. Also, Sir William Berkeley being their governor, they met the facts pointedly and squarely. They harried the enemy. To keep him at a comfortable distance, recurrent as he was, they set up forts on the Pamunkey (Fort Royal), on Chickahominy Ridge (Fort James), at the Falls of the Appomattox (Fort Henry). Then Captain Henry Fleet was commissioned to negotiate a peace, at his own expense should he fail. We gather that Captain Fleet was still a powerful man in Indian affairs, and if he carried through a treaty was to be allowably much the gainer. Treaty was arranged with Necotowance, successor of the ancient Opechancanough, on terms that showed a marked advance of civilization; Necotawance must do homage for his land to the King of England, in token whereof he was fined 20 beaver skins "at the going away of the Geese yearly. The people of Necotowance were to keep themselves carefully to the North side of York River, and to the South their dead line was drawn from the head of Yapin the Blackwater to the old Monakin Town. When trading was to be done, or runaway blacks returned, the people of Necotowance were to repair from the North

      north west to Fort Royal (Ricahack) on the Pamunkey, from the south, to Fort Henry on the Appomattox or to the house opposite of Captain John Flood. At the time, Captain Flood was chief interpreter to the colony. His house being on the Appomattox the evidence is perhaps that the more important Indian business of Virginia had shifted already to the South. Certain it is, that of the four trading forts established after the second massacre, Fort Henry, under Captain Abraham Wood on river Appomattox, was the most conspicuous as the records are. Captain Wood, who had made his own way in the colony, once established at Fort Henry, long continued there. He was a Southside man. Stipulations following the massacre of 1644 made it clear that the north side and the south side of the James were, by reason of the broad river, regions distinct; each must fend for itself. Abraham Wood was chosen commander on the Southern March. His abilities, well approved in peace and war, he was confirmed by government in his tenure of Fort Henry, allowed to keep the post (with a plantation) at his own charge, free of taxation for a term of years. He was to maintain a small force there, his own trading force, which should be garrison as well. This was the policy with all those forts-the emergency past, those four posts were handed over to private enterprise, trader’s enterprise, the concessionaire to guarantee defence. Captain Henry Fleet had in this way been authorized, when treating with Necotowance, to build a fort on Rappahannock, an important station, but we know more about Fort Henry. The second massacre had done much to organize the trade.

      Who were the Ricahecrians who in 1656 are supposed to have come down from the West and to have demoralized Colonel Hill of Virginia and some Pamunkeys? Were the Ricahecrians Cherokee, and were they displeased at Major Wood’s attempts? From a statute after that disturbance, end of year 1656, it is to be inferred that the posts at the heads of the rivers were not in regular maintenance, but that traders were still there.
      ===
      EARLY HISTORY OF THE PAMUNKEY INDIANS.
      At the time of the settlement of Jamestown, in 1607, that region lying in Virginia between Potomac and James rivers was occupied by three great Indian confederacies, each of which derived its name from one of its leading tribes. They were (1) the Mannahoac, who lived on the headwaters of Potomac and Rappahunnock rivers; (2) the Monocan, who ocetipied the banks of the upper James, and (3) the Powhatan, who inhabited alithat portion of the tidewater region lying north of the James. The last-named powerful confederacy was composed of thirty warlike tribes, having 2,400 warriors, whose disastrous attacks on the early settlers of Virginia are well known to history. The largest of the tribes making up the Powhatan confederacy was the Pamnukey, their entire number of men, women, and children, in 1607 being estimated at about 1,000 or one-eighth of the population of the whole confederacy.

      The original seat of the Pamunkey tribe was on the banks of the river which bears their name, and which flows somewhat parallel with James river, the Pamunkey being about 22 miles north of the James. This tribe, on account of its numerical strength, would probably from the beginning have been the leader of its sister tribes in warfare, had it not been for the superior ability of the noted chief Powhatan, who made his tribe the moving spirit of attack on the white settlers.
