Pocahontas was married to John Rolfe. They only had one child as she died at a young age. I think he then also only had one child and so on for a couple of generations.

Fortunately one then had a bunch of children and most of the prominent families of Virginia are descended from Pocahontas. One was Robert E. Lee.

BTW, I am also supposed to be related to Pocahontas.

Ewww. You're descended from a girl!?!?!?

Sorry. It was the dumbest thing I could think of to say.

I've got Indian blood in me somehow, but it isn't Pocahontas.
