Pocahontas married Jhon rolfe only because he was a christian and not because they loved each other and, surprisingly they had only 1 child and they named him Thomas Rolfe. Sadly pocahontas died 1 year after her son's birth. she had died of tuberculosis. The father (Jhon rolfe) left his son (thomas rolfe) in England to get a better education.

Did Pocahontas marry John Rolfe?

Yes Pocahontas Did Marry Kocoum. The Real Pocahontas Anyway. The Disney Pochontas Didnt as Kocoum Died In The Story. The Real Pocahontas never married or even had a relationship with John Smith as she was only 10 when she met him when he came to Jamestown looking for gold. He was over 15 years older than her at the time. After He Left, many years later Pocahontas is said to have married Kocoum. Although nothing much is known about their relationship. A few years later she moved to London as the wife of John Rolfe (Not John Smith). Suggestions Have Been Made That Pocahontas was still married to Kocoum at the time. After Her Marrage To Rolfe She was Baptised and Called Lady Rebecca and From That Day On Known as Rebecca Rolfe.
