Pocahontas, Algonquin Christian

Pastor Whitaker: Through this man, Pocahontas learned the Apostle's Creed, the Ten Commandments, and the Lords Prayer. She may have learned to write at this time. In 1614 she renounced the devil and confessed faith in Jesus. She was then baptized and became a member of the Church of England. She took a new name, Rebecca, possibly based on her admiration for that Biblical heroine.
 
1615. Thomas is born. Pocahontas takes the child to see his grandfather, Chief Powhatan.

1616. Pocahontas, her son and husband travel to England. Here she visits the Queen and other dignitaries. She finally sees John Smith again.

1617. She dies of small pox there at age 21. She made her "confession of faith" on her death bed that she would be resurrected because of her faith in Jesus. Her desire was that Thomas be raised as a Christian and go back to Virginia to be a blessing to the Algonquins and English.
