Yes, John Rolfe, an early English settler in Virginia, did have slaves. He is known for cultivating tobacco as a cash crop, which contributed to the establishment of the plantation system in the colony. Like many landowners of his time, Rolfe utilized enslaved labor to support his agricultural endeavors. His role in the development of tobacco farming coincided with the increasing reliance on slavery in the American colonies.
