Jurretta: Thanks for the references to the BCP.  I imagine that if it
was English custom to give the bride a ring, Rolfe would have followed
it  (I guess I'm waiting to hear from the historians of Anglicanism,
marriage customs, personal jewelry, etc. as well)

Cheers, 

David

A ring for Pocohontas, yes.  But none for John Rolfe.
