Pocahontas and her late husband, John Rolfe, gave birth to one child, Thomas Rolfe , who was born January of 1615. The following year Thomas's parents had set travels to London in the year 1616. Pocahontas has many past and living descendants, through her son Thomas, including members of the First Families of Virginia, American Western actor Glenn Strange , and astronomer and mathematician Percival Lowell , who's achievements include helping discover Pluto.

Descendants of many First Families of Virginia trace their roots back to Pocahontas and her father, Chief Powhatan, including such notable individuals as Edith Bolling Galt Wilson, wife of Woodrow Wilson ; George Wythe Randolph ; Admiral Richard Byrd ; Virginia Governor, Harry F. Byrd ; fashion-designer and socialite Pauline de Rothschild.

Two of the very well known descendants of Pocahontas have become The First Ladies of the United States, both First Lady Edith Wilson  and First Lady Nancy Reagan.

First Lady Edith Wilson, was very proud of her heritage. She was born and raised in Virginia, and through her father, William Holcombe Bolling, was the 9th generation descendant of Pocahontas. Her "blood" was introduced to the Randolph family of Virginia via the marriage of her great-great-granddaughter, Jane Bolling, to Richard Randolph.

As of July 2015 the Pamunkey Indian Tribe won it's 35 year battle for their Federal Recognition in becoming the first Federally Recognized tribe in the state of Virginia. The Pamunkey tribe of Virginia counts Pocahontas among its many members. The tribe is descendants of the Powhatan Chiefdom, being the descendants of the Chiefdom that came across some of the first English settlers in Jamestown in the year of 1607. ''"The Pamunkey are perhaps the best-known indigenous group in what is now the United States." '' With this recognition to the Pamunkey Indian Tribe it gives the everlasting legacy to the now Disney Princess and mythological figure in todays America.
