Thomas Rolfe, the son of John Rolfe and Pocahontas, the legendary  Indian princess, was the father of Jane Rolfe and (possibly) Anne Rolfe, by  different wives. Jane married a Bolling, and Anne married an Elwyn, from which  unions issued an enormous progeny, today numbering in the tens of thousands and  encompassing numerous lines of the colonial Virginia gentry.
Over nearly 20 years, Mr. Brown and his associates at the  Pocahontas Foundation in Berryville, Virginia, endeavored to compile the  definitive genealogy of Pocahontas’ descendants. Starting with the Bolling  lines, which include the “white,” “red” and “blue” Bollings, the Foundation has  issued a series of books that carries Pocahontas’ descendants down to the  present time. The base volume in the series, Pocahontas’ Descendants, was  originally published in 1985, followed by three volumes of corrections and  additions. In 1994, Genealogical Publishing Company reprinted the base volume,  along with the first two volumes of corrections and additions, in a single  hardback volume. Third Corrections and Additions, published in 1997, is also  available from Genealogical Publishing Company.
Clearfield Company is pleased to announce its publication of a  paperback edition of the final installments in this series, Fourth and Fifth  Corrections and Additions to Pocahontas’ Descendants. This present volume,  consisting of two separate sections of additions and corrections to the existing  canon, contains over 80 pages of changes and revisions, with separate indexes  referring to more than 2,800 names. Following the pattern of the earlier  volumes, the name of the spouse of a Pocahontas descendant is listed even though  that spouse is not a descendant of Pocahontas, but the name of a parent of such  a spouse is not indexed unless, of course, that parent is a descendant of  Pocahontas as well. This volume is an indispensable adjunct to contemporary  Pocahontas scholarship and should be sought after by all persons and libraries  that possess the earlier volumes.
N.B. Clearfield Company published the Fourth Corrections and  Additions to Pocahontas’ Descendants in 2001. Since that work was out of print  when Mr. Brown and Ms. Myers had completed their fifth supplement, we have  chosen to combine them in a single volume at this time.
