Note for: Pocahontas Matoaka Rebecca, ABT 1595 - 21 MAR 1615/16 Index

Individual Note:
In December 1607, Pocahontas, the favorite daughter of Chief Powhatan, saved Captain John Smith's life at Werawocomoo which, according to Smith, was located on the North side of the Pamaunkee River (now York River) twenty-five miles below where the "river is divided" (West Point) in Gloucester County.
Helen Roundtree in 1996 published a wonderful book "Young Pocahontas in the Indian World" for children to correct the mistaken image that Disney wanted them to believe. Amonute was Pocahontas' birth name; Matoaka was her secret, personal name. It was the English that named her Rebecca. Pocahontas means " little mischievous one", not "Tom-bom".

Came to Virginia in 1673

Founder of College of William & Mary
"Curles Neck" was on Turkey Island, an island in the James now called Presque Isle. In 1951 it was made into a bird refuge.

Here is an account of the Randolph family and its Turkey Island home from "Old Churches, Ministers and Families of Virginia," by Bishop William Meade, 1857: "We are informed, by one of the descendants, that Mr. William Randolph bought at one time the whole of Sir Thomas Dale's settlement, amounting to five thousand acres of land, and as much more of other persons, reaching down to Four-Mile Creek, on the James River. The two settlements of Varina and Curls, so long the property and abodes of the Randolph family, were on this estate. The estate of [Nathaniel] Bacon, the rebel, once formed a part of this tract, and there are still some remains of the fort which he erected when contending with the Indians. The estate called Varina, which continued longest in possession of the Randolph family, was so called from a place of that name in Spain, because the tobacco raised at both places so resembled each other in flavour. . . ."
