That question is impossible to answer. To answer it, a person would have to count every single John Smith in every telephone book on earth, and then there would be some that have no phone or have an unlisted number. Suffice it to say it is a VERY common name.
yes but its not lik the movie bc Rolfe was old, plump, and the chiefs age (unlike the movie wen he looks like Taylor laugnner.... popahantist met him wen he begged (as a child) to her father (the chief) not to kill the stranger that was exploring "their land"
answering ur question: yes they did meet.
No, not a political leader. He was however the first profitable tobacco planter in the Virginia Colonies. He was also the son-in-law of Wahunsenacawh, the chief of the Powhatan (local Native American tribe); Rolfe married Pocahontas, renaming her Rebecca when she was baptised.
Their son's name is Thomas Rolfe.
Sad Fact: Pocahontas died when Thomas was only two.
I'm doing a book report on Pocahontas, and that's the only way I knew that. And a funny thing, I'm only a 7th grader!! Good luck!!
True or false
In 1619, Rolfe married Jane Pierce. They had a daughter, Elizabeth, in 1620.
Rolfe died in 1622 after his plantation was destroyed in an Indian attack. It remains unclear whether Rolfe died in the Indian massacre or whether he died as a result of illness.
Rolfe's son Thomas after being educated in England, returned to Virginia, where he married. It has been said that his wife's name was Jane Poythress. However, this has been disputed.
Thomas Rolfe and his wife had one child, Jane, who married Robert Bolling in 1675. She died in 1676 leaving one son, John, born the same year.
So all in all, he died of an illness.
Accredited with the first successful cultivation of tobacco as an export crop in West Virginia. With his marriage to Pocahontas, the Algonquin chief Powhatan's daughter, brought on a temporary truce between the Algonquin and the English i think it was the Cesapeake and not the Algonquin He was a Jamestown leader.
