Fragile
In 1622
Jamestown Massacre
Samuel Maycock and his wife
hid their infant daughter Sarah.
She survived.
In 1779
Martha Reed, her brother and friendswere on their way to pick berries.
Her brother shot, her friend tomahawked,
she outran her pursuer. *
was wounded
in the head by shrapnel.He lived.
It’s funny to think
about how many times
one nearly never
existed.* So far my geneoligist sister can't prove that Martha Reed Shannon was our ancestor but we grew up with this story as if it were our own, so I included it.
