Pocahontas Hi, my name is Pocahontas and did you know that I saved John Smith’s life. You will learn more about that. I was born in 1595. Pocahontas was my childhood nickname. Pocahontas meant playful and hard to control. When I was baptized I took the English name Rebecca. At age 9 I ran away from my mother and went with my father. I am an Indian princess. I am most famous for saving John Smith’s life. I saved him from being killed from my father. I was captured on June 4, 1613. John Smith was 28 when we met and I was 11. My dad was married so many times that I had about 100 moms and about 100 brothers. I was the only girl in my family except for my all of my step moms. My dad was a leader of 34 tribes. I got married to an Indian man named Kocoum in 1610. I was married a second time on April 5, 1614, to a man named John Rolfe. I was not married to John Smith that is only in the movies. John Rolfe and I were married for 6 years. I had 1 son named Thomas. I was also known as **“The Starving Time”.** I died in 1617. I died because of a disease in the air. I was buried at a church in England on March 17, 1617, at the age 21. That is the life of Pocahontas. By: Casey Snead
