Pocahontas was 12 when John Smith was being executed so she was at least 11 or 12 when the English arrived.

What killed john smith?
He died at the age of 56 in London. The story we know about him is not true. He did NOT save Jamestown. He was only there a very few months and he lied about his contribution to the settlement in a book he wrote several years later. He also made up the story about Pocahontas and she died young so couldn't refute his story. The man who did save Jamestown was the husband of Pocahontas and gave tobacco seeds to the colony. That was John Rolfe.

Where were John Rolfe and John Smith From?
Smith was an Englishman who was sent to Jamestown in the second year of the colony. He later wrote a book about his short time there and lied. Pocahontas was a little Native American girl who may have met Smith, but her story is more interesting than what is told in the fable about her. She was kidnapped by the leader of the colony, held for 4 years, renamed Rebecca, became a Christian, married John Rolfe, left for England, had a baby boy, and died at the age of 19 or 20.

How did John Smith from Pocahontas die?
He died at the age of 56 in London.The story we know is not true. Actually the colonist landed in an area of 14,000 Native Americans and in the worse land in the area. Powhatan pretty much left them alone. I think he figured that they would die from the bad water and disease . He was fairly right. Within 6 months there were only 34 men left alive of the 104 who came. It wasn't until after his death that the brother of Powhatan attacked the colony. The story about Smith is also not true. He did NOT save Jamestown. He was only there a very few months and he lied about his contribution to the settlement in a book he wrote several years later. He also made up the story about Pocahontas and she died young so couldn't refute his story. The man who did save Jamestown was the husband of Pocahontas and gave tobacco seeds to the colony.

Is it possible to be related to Pocahontas through her son Peregrine Smith that she had with John Smith?
Yes, it is possible. There are varying accounts historically of what happened with and between John Smith (Smyth) and Pocahontas. It depends on who's "version" of history you believe. There is evidence of Peregrin Smith born in Jamestown in 1608 at which time Pocahontas would have been 13 or 14 - certainly of child bearing age. There is too much evidence otherwise to dismiss these historical traditions. The only way to verify a connection would be to have DNA testing on a Rolfe family descendant and yourself to see if there is a match that would connect Pocahontas.
