Pocahontas

The story of Pocahontas, the beloved daughter of Powhatan, has been enjoyed by schoolchildren for generations. Stories handed down in books and Disney's largely fictionalized version of the maiden have made her famous and larger than life. This category is to separate fact from fiction about Pocahontas, Powhatan, John Rolfe and, of course, John Smith.

What did John Smith do for the pilgrims?

Nothing. He had nothing to do with the Pilgrims. Jamestown was in 1607 and Plymouth was in 1620.The story we know is not true. Actually the colonist landed in an area of 14,000 Native Americans and in the worse land in the area. Powhatan pretty much left them alone. I think he figured that they would die from the bad water and disease . He was fairly right. Within 6 months there were only 34 men left alive of the 104 who came. It wasn't until after his death that the brother of Powhatan attacked the colony. The story about Smith is also not true. He did NOT save Jamestown. He was only there a very few months and he lied about his contribution to the settlement in a book he wrote several years later. He also made up the story about Pocahontas and she died young so couldn't refute his story. The man who did save Jamestown was the husband of Pocahontas and gave tobacco seeds to the colony. That was John Rolfe.

How did John Rolfe die?

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.

What tattoo was on Pocahontas?

It's difficult to say, since we have no photographs of her. We do know that the Disney movie is not an accurate depiction of how she might have looked, and it tired to modernize her, giving her European features and a modern (and colorful) version of a tattoo on one arm. But in her Algonquin culture, if she had tattoos, they would have been tribal markings that identified her social status, and they would have been on the sides of her face or near her neck, according to what some scholars have written about the customs of native peoples of that time.
