The marriage of Pocahontas, daughter of the Powhatan leader Wahunsenacawh, and the English colonist John Rolfe took place in April 1614 in the Virginia colony, around Jamestown. Her baptism as Rebecca preceded the wedding, and the union is often credited with keeping relations between the colonists and the Powhatan Confederacy peaceful for several years. Rolfe's cultivation of tobacco was central to the colony's economy at the time. The subject sits apart from the Plymouth story on this board, since the Pilgrims did not arrive in New England until 1620, but it reflects the wider colonial encounters that shaped early America.
