There is a folklore story of Pocahontas rescuing John Smith from execution by her father Powhatan but nothing about HER being rescued. The one time she might have been "rescued" was when she was captured by the English during Anglo-Indian hostilities in 1613, and held for ransom. During her captivity, she converted to Christianity and took the name Rebecca. When presented with the opportunity to return to her people, she chose to remain with the English so apparently she felt no need to be "rescued" at that point.
