Did Pocahontas want to marry John Smith?
The only mention of a connection between John Smith and Pocahontas was in John Smith's memoirs that he wrote several years after returning from the colony. The actual likelihood of John Smith having ever known Pocahontas is remote.
Pocahontas was married to John Rolfe, the one of the more affluent settlers in the Virginia Colony of Jamestown. She had been taken captive by him in a raid, and perhaps in an attempt to establish an ally relationship with her father, Powhatan the chief of the Five Tribes, he mimicked the practice of the Powhatan Renape or Virginia Algonquians. This was in fact quite successful.
The only real relationship between Captain John Smith and Pocahontas was that he visited Virginia Colony and she was there when the white settlers arrived. Oh, and Disney perpetuated the myth of a nonexistent love affair in that cartoon.
