[edit] Was George Percy married?

I question whether George Percy ever married. In the various published accounts of the history of Jamestown and Virginia's early leaders, he is consistently listed as having never married. See John W. Raimo, Biographical Directory of American Colonial and Revolutionary Governors, 1607-1789 (Westport, Conn.: Meckler, 1980) and Edward Wright Haile, ed., Jamestown Narratives: Eyewitness Accounts of the Virginia Colony, The First Decade: 1607-1617 (Champlain, Va.: RoundHouse, 1998), 51-52. If he did ever marry, it could NOT have been in 1607 as the first English women did not arrive in Jamestown until September 1608. See Smith's Generall History (1624) in Haile, Jamestown Narratives, p. 283. User:JGMcCurdy(talk), 5 December 2007
