Notes:

"Pocahontas was married to Kocoum in 1610, per the Colonial Secretary of the Virginia Colony, William Strachey. She had at least one daughter, Ka-Okee, before the English captured her at the Patawomeck village in 1613. Ka-Okee was left behind to be raised by Japasaw’s family. She married a Mr. Pettus, an Englishman, and raised a number of children on land adjoining her cousin, Wahanganoche. It is strongly believed that Wahanganoche married one of the daughters of Ka-Okee, as that would have been the only way for him to carry on the tradition of his ancestors in taking a wife of the royal matrilineal succession to ensure that his own children would have the chance to one day lead the tribe." by William L. "Night Owl" Deyo

Whipsewasson married Jane KA-OKEE, Daughter of Ka-Okee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Ka-Okee is traditionally the daughter of Keocum Japasaw and Matoaka whom is known by Americans as Pocahontas. The sources stating this are Wikipedia, The Shawne Heritage Book, V. IV, p. 99-102, The True Story of Pocahontas: The Other Side of History, by. Dr. Angela Daniel and Linwood Custalo, The National Park Service, WebNetherlands and Find-A-Grave. The Smithsonian Magazine and recent historians have also been published this Indian's tribe oral history.

Ka-Okee was an young child when her mother, Pocahontas, was taken by the British. She by some traditions had a brother also. She was raised by her mother's oldest sister and her husband. When she married a Col. Thomas Petuss who was of influence and wealthy birth in Europe, their subsequent daughters were greatly desired by the men also from families of stature in England.

Kecoum married Matoaka "Pocahontas" Rebecca, of the Powhatan Tribe in Powhatan Tribal Lands on the Pamunkey River in Virginia Colony, America. Matoaka (daughter of Mamanatowick Wahunsenacawh POWHATAN and Matatishe Winanuske Eagle Plume Nonoma) was born on 17 Sep 1595 in Werowocomoco Village, On Pamunkey River York River, Virginia, US; died on 21 Mar 1617 in Gravesend, Kent, England; was buried in 1617 in Gravesend, Gravesham Borough, Kent, England.

Notes:

The Powhatten oral history gives us a much different understanding of Matoaka "Pocahontas" 's sad life. Here is a summary of it at https://www.americanindianmagazine.org/story/pocahontas-first-marriage-powhatan-side-story"Virginia institutions are preparing to celebrate the 400th anniversary (2014) of the Pocahontas

Her story from her tribes point of view, is very different than the Disney version of her life. Both accounts agree that she did help save the fledgling Jamestown in their first year of survival. She was repaid by being kidnaped by the British, only to be converted to Christianity, taken to England to drum up monetary support for the Jamestown Colony, married to John Rolfe, died and buried in England at the mere age of 21. The English ignored the fact that she had a marriage to an Indian husband by whom she had 2 small children at the time of her entrapment by them. Her daughter, Ka-Ochee, was our direct ancestor. This information in part, is by a teenaged European boy who was traded by the English so that he could learn the Powhattan language. He ran away from the village after six months to Pocahantas' sister and her husband where he was put in charge of "babysitting" little Ka-Ochee after her mother, Pocahontas' imprisonment on the English ship.

Matoaka, as was her birth name, also had a son Thomas Rolfe, whom many trace through. It is not known if Thomas Rolfe was the son of John Rolfe or another gentry on the ship whom molested her.

I am very proud to be her descendant and so feel for her.
