It's interesting to consider the James City household of Capt Roger Smith as shown on the muster of 1624/5: Capt Roger Smith head Mrs Joan Smith his wife Elizabeth Salter aged 7, arrived on the Seaflower Elizabeth Rolfe aged 4, born in VA Sarah Macock aged 2, born in VA Charles Waller servant, 22, arrived on the Abigail in 1620 Christopher Bankus, servant, 19, arrived on the Abigail in 1622 Henery Booth servant, 20, arrived on the Dutie Henery Lacton servant, 18, arrived on the Hopwell in 1623 So there are three mystery girl children without parents living in this household. Who is Elizabeth Rolfe? If aged 4, she would be born abt 1620, so she can't be a daughter of Pocahontas. Did John Rolfe marry a third time? Who is Elizabeth Salter? Sir Nicholas Salter was a hefty shareholder in the Virginia Company but would this be his daughter, all alone in Virginia? Seems unlikely. And then there's Sarah Macock, who may or may not have been the daughter of Samuel, who like Roger Smith was a member of Council. Roger Smith seems to have taken in all the unprotected children of high social status. Ellen pace3637@nc.rr.com wrote: Just one more point about the Sarah Maycock issue.

Dear Ellen -- Yes, John Rolfe married a third time after his wife Pocahontas died in England, to Jane Pierce, born abt 1587 in England. They had one daughter, Elizabeth, said to be born on 25 Jan 1620/21 in James City County, Va.

John Rolfe did marry a third time, to Jane or Joan Pierce. They had the little girl, Elizabeth. After John Rolfe's death, his widow married Capt Roger Smith. So that's why Elizabeth Rolfe is living in Capt Roger Smith's household: she is his stepdaughter. gnlgy458 <gnlgy458@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: Who is Elizabeth Rolfe?
