She was held hostage for 4 years by colonists, converted to Christianity, changed her name to Rebecca, and married John Rolfe. She went to England with him, had a baby boy and died about age 19. She is buried in England. When John Smith wrote his book after her death he made up the story about her saving his life. He never knew her and he didn't stay in Jamestown very long because he was attacked. Someone sprinkled gunpowder on him while he slept and set it on fire,so he had to go home to get the burns treated.
