Put Pocahontas in Search and item 3 is a note on her genealogy from the Thomas Jefferson papers. Thomas Rolfe, the son of Pocahontas, had 2 sons by his third wife, but apparently they used the spelling Relfe. |

Pocahontas (1600 AD) From: Jeanie Here's the website for St. George's church, with the memorial and details of the time Pocohontas spent in England: St. George's Church, Gravesend Another place with a family connection is Heacham, Norfolk, home of the Rolfe family. The real Pocohontas story is *far* more interesting than what Disney did to it in the film. All the best with your research, wilco ! - jeanie |
