King William County

Yes, my name is Frank Adams.

I am chief of the Upper Mattaponi Tribe, located in King William County, Virginia, about 30 miles east of the city of Richmond.

And we have about 700 tribal citizens in our tribe.

A lot of them moved out of Virginia because of the racial conditions in the state of Virginia back in years ago.

Also, Richmond was where our Chief Powhatan was born and lived.

So I know that all the tribes in his chiefdom probably went and traded, bartered, and just visited that farm that Suzanne was talking about, which was Tree Hill Farm, just outside of downtown Richmond.

So I think it was probably a beaten path from King William County to the city of Richmond back in those days.

The landscape is magnificent in the area when you think and you follow those trails.
