Pocahontas whose real name was Matoko, but was called Pocahontas which means
the "Playful One" was born about 1596/97 at Werawocomoco. This is now
Wicomico, Glouchester Co., Virginia. She was a younger and  favorite daughter
of Chief Powhatan of the Federation of Algonquian Tribes. Pocahontas married
John Rolfe on April 5, 1614 at the Jamestown Anglican Church.  Pocahontas
gave birth to a son Thomas Rolfe  who was born in 1615. He was the only child
 and was raised in London, England  by his uncle  Henry Rolfe.  Thomas
returned to Virginia to live on his parents estate given  to them by Chief
Powhatan. Thomas married  Jane Poythress and they had only one dauthter named
Jane Rolfe. Jane married  Col John Bolling and  died in childbirth giving
birth to their only son named John Bolling.

Hope this is of intetest to some of the Virginia Researchers.
