Hi, Guys,

Take care with the data you have obtained regarding James Fowke (Fowkes), and his arrival in Virginia about 1650. The data comes primarily from a publication published in 1963 by Herbert C Fooks (USA) and whilst I have also used the data in my records (Fowke Family Tree) the proof that he is, in fact, a son of Roger Fowke and Sybil Chelsham of Brewood, Staffordshire, England, is still to be formerly located. In other words, tag it as 'possible' or even 'likely' until further acceptable proof comes to light.
