Queen Anne

Who was Queen Anne?

Queen Ann appears in Virginia records between 1706 and 1715 as ruler of the Pamunkey Indian tribe. Ann continued her predecessors' efforts to keep peace with English colonists.

Ann's last record in history was in 1715, when she was noted as visiting the colonial authorities. She had come to seek fair treatment for her tribe, who suffered encroachment and raids by settlers.

It has been suggested that Queen Ann and Queen Betty may have been the same person:

Queen Ann had a son, whom she sent to the Indian school at the College of William and Mary in 1711. His name is not known.

Ann is believed to have died around 1723.
