He apparently had 100 children by 100 different women, His favorite daughter, Pocohantas. Not much mentioned about her mother. He sent all the women away to find another husband after he fathered their child. Wikipedia has info on this. With that many offspring, anyone with a Native American Indian heritage can probably trace Chief Powhatan in their family tree, maybe Pocohantas as well.
