Pocahontas: Difference between revisions - Wikipedia

Line 25:

Like much of the 19th century poetry and novels surrounding Pocahontas, [[The Walt Disney Company]]'s [[1995]] animated feature ''[[Pocahontas (1995 movie)|Pocahontas]]'' presents a highly romanticized and distorted view of the events surrounding Pocahontas' meeting with John Smith. The sequel, ''[[Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World]]'', loosely depicts her journey to England. See [[Pocahontas (movie)]] for a list of films surrounding this story.

== RelationMistaken toassumption theabout a Bush family relation ==

A number of genealogists have attempted to link [[United States President|Presidents]] [[George H. W. Bush]] and [[George W. Bush]] with [[Pocahontas]], but this link has been proved to be based on the mistaken assumption that [[Robert Bolling, Jr.]] (a 10th generation ancestor of George W. Bush) was the son of [[Robert Bolling]] and [[Jane Rolfe]] (granddaughter of Pocahontas). This connection has been disproved by many reputable genealogists, who point out that Rolfe died in [[1676]], six years before the birth of the younger Bolling, who therefore could not have been her son. He was evidently the son of [[Anne Stith]], whom his father married after Jane Rolfe's death. The [[Bush family]], therefore, is not descended from Pocahontas.
