Louise,

The last chapter of the book, Pocahontas and the Powhatan Dilemma by Camilla 
Townsend contains a good amount of information on Thomas' descendents. 
Earlier in the book it relate the story of both Pocahontas and Thomas being 
very ill in England, and John Rolfe calling his brother to come to Gravesent 
and take the child, nurse it back to health, and raise it. John did not live 
to Thomas' adulthood, but Thomas did return to Virginia to claim his lands 
and expand his holdings.

I strongly suggest getting this book. It is very readable.
