One of my direct ancestors was a part of the founding of Jamestown and later went back to England and sailed as one of the Kings administrators on the Mayflower. He would have known Pocahontas and John Rolfe and some narratives say that he helped officiate at their marriage as a deacon.

One of my wife’s direct ancestors through the “Red” Bollings is John Rolfe, also a Jamestown founder and the man who married Pocahontas.

The boy pictured would be Thomas Rolfe, the only son of John and Pocahontas.
