Relationship Highlights New Understanding of Pocahontas on the Eve of
Jamestown’s 400th Anniversary
Williamsburg, Va., May 9, 2007 — As America commemorates
Jamestown’s 400th anniversary, genealogical detectives at Ancestry.com, the
world’s largest online resource for family history, today unveiled key
documentation which proves that Pocahontas and President George W. Bush are
related. The families are linked by the marriage of President Bush’s
eighth great-grandfather, Robert Bolling, to Jane Rolfe, Bolling’s first wife
and Pocahontas’ granddaughter.
President Bush is not a direct descendant of
Pocahontas, but rather a descendant of Bolling and his second wife, Ann
Meriwether Stith. In addition, Bush’s eighth great-aunt, Mary Kennon,
married John Rolfe, who is believed to be Pocahontas’ great-grandson. These
connections make President Bush directly related to many – if not all – the
descendants of Pocahontas. The Bush-Pocahontas family tree is accessible on our
site in the one-off payment subscription database. See site for details.
