Polish connection

[TheKiltedWonder]

Here's the one Polish connection that I find compelling:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Klementyna_Sobieska

May I add, that her last name of Sobieska is Sobieski if one is a male. I've just seen too many websites dismissing the claims of the Sobieski-Stuarts because they "messed up" the last name, rather than dismissing them because their claims were clearly ridiculous

I didn't know that the Poles came to Jamestown so early. I may have to make a side trip (all of 5 mins) to the museum area and ask around a bit to see if I can turn up any reasons (aside from lumberjacks) that they brought in. Maybe the English loved kielbasi?
