No. 10. MARRIAGE OF POCAHONTAS. The
year following her baptism, Pocahontas was married to
John Rolfe, a worthy and highly respected young Eng.
lishman, in Jamestown Church, April, 1613. King Pow.
hatan, her father, who would never risk placing himself
in the power of the English, declined to attend, but gave
his consent and sent his blessing and presents by an uncle
and two brothers of the bride, who attended the cere-
mony. The marriage proved to be a most happy one,
and was directly responsible for the friendly relations
which, from that time to the death of Powhatan in 1618,
existed between the colony and the Indians. (See cards
5, 6, 9, II, 12 and 13.)
