The short version:
Pocahontas did not marry Captain John Smith - she married John Rolfe.
They had a son Thomas whose daughter married a Bolling - my mother was a Bolling directly descended from them.
So I'm an 11th generation direct descendant of Pocahontas (and the great Chief Powhatan!), along with 200,000 other people.
