NOTES:

1 In June of 1616, John Rolfe, Pocahontas and their son (b.1615) arrive in England; Pocahontas was introduced to high society and made quite an impression. A year later, just as she was about to return back home to Virginia, Pocahontas died. The son, Thomas Rolfe stayed on in England and was brought up by his uncle. Thomas returned to Virginia in 1640 there to marry Frances Pothress. (Chatterton, p. 193-5.)
