John Smith never married Pocahontas. In fact, Pocahontas is only a nickname given to Matoaka meaning playful. When John Smith visited the Powhatan tribe he actually was treated very well. Matoaka was about 11 years old at the time. When Pocahontas was 17, she was abducted and imprisoned in Jamestown for a year. She was released after she agreed to marry John Rolfe. They had a son Thomas Rolfe and Matoaka, then known by the name of Rebecca Rolfe, died at the age of 22 in March of 1617.

Is capt john smith and john wolf the same person in the story of Pocahontas?
You're probably referring to John Rolfe, who should not be confused with John Smith. Captain John Smith was the colonial governor who was captured. He was released by Powhatan, perhaps after intervention by Powhatan's 12-year-old daughter Pocahontas. John Rolfe is the English gentleman whom Pocahontas later married.
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.
What year did Pocahontas get married?
Well Pocahontas got married with john Rolf a tobacco seller in Jamestown they got married in England in the year of1614 and had one son.
In what year did Pocahantas save John Smith?
John Smith originally said 1608. That isn't exactly though whole story. John Smith's version of events is the only source, and since the 1860s, skepticism has increasingly been expressed about its veracity. One reason for such doubt is, despite having published two earlier books about Virginia, Smith's earliest surviving account of his rescue by Pocahontas dates from 1616, nearly 10 years later, in a letter entreating the Queen to treat Pocahontas with dignity. The time gap in publishing his story raises the possibility Smith may have exaggerated or invented the event to enhance Pocahontas' image; however, in a recent book, J.A.O. Lemay points out Smith's earlier writing was primarily geographical and ethnographic in nature and did not dwell on his personal experience; hence there was no reason for him to write down the story until this point. Some experts have suggested, although Smith believed he had been rescued, he had in fact been involved in a ritual intended to symbolize his death and rebirth as a member of the tribe. So whether or not John Smith was really saved by Pocahontas, we may never know. But people originally say 1608.

When did Pocahontas get married?
Yes, in 1614 to John Rolf. Smith 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.
