I don't see anything in the record to which you link that suggests she
was Native. English children had already been born in Virginia (at
Roanok, for example, & then Jamestown, etc.). It is also +possible+
that she was indeed Native - by 1660 there were Native people
graduating from Oxford.
Do you know anything about "Harp alley"? That could also be a clue. Who
was "Widdow Stanford" - could she have run an orphanage? Best, Bronwen

Oh I dunno ... the fact that she had no surname and was born in
Virginia?

The timing suggests she could have been among those who left Virginia
settlements to return to England in the wake of the 1622 native
troubles. But there was also a handful of natives who were hustled into
going to England in the earliest years of the colonies, some of whom may
well have ended up as anonymous servants.
