Did Pocahontas have two children?

Question

I recently found out while doing some geneology research that I am a descendant of Pocahontas. I am working on a family tree, and I've come across some ancestry.com records that say Pocahontas was married to Kocoum before she married John Rolfe, and that they had a daughter named Hannah Untouk. Is this true? Can anyone find any info on wikipedia about it?

This gives a lot of compare and contrast evidence stating she may have been married prior to marriage with Rolfe or Smith for that matter. http://www.americanhistory.com/history/S…

This is about someone who claims to know and speak of the family:

Here is a descendant story, while hard to figure out really is a good source of names and dates. It also states that they had a daughter Bermuda in Bermuda (not to Kocoum) and that would make sense after you read the story on the first link about the Bermudian writer.

This comes from geneology.com but you may have seen this one already.

We can post links all day, but I also found this.. It has others with the same questions and evidence that they found. Also, you may email them. I'm sure they'd be glad to share and possibly meet fellow family members:

Answer 2

Pocahontas had one child with John Rolfe, a son named Thomas. There's no verified proof that she was married or had children before that, only legends.

You can find charts of the Rolfe descendants at http://pocahontas.morenus.org/poca_gen.h… and some information about the alleged Kocoum marriage at http://womenshistory.about.com/od/mythso… (the last paragraph). There's a good general biography at http://www.apva.org/history/pocahont.htm…
