Thomas Rolfe (January 30, 1615 - c. 1675) was the only child of Pocahontas by her English husband John Rolfe.

Rolfe was born at Smith's Plantation in Jamestown, Virginia. After growing up in England, he returned to Virginia in 1635. He was a powerful leader in the tribe[clarify] later on meeting Jane Poythress and then married her. He served in the English military in 1675. His only child, Jane Rolfe (b. October 10, 1650) married Colonel Robert Bolling in 1675 and had one child, John Bolling (b. January 26, 1676). Many Americans may claim descent from Rolfe, including some politicians. On 1675, Rolfe at the age of 59 or 60, died. He was survived by his wife and child. As a result of Thomas Rolfe's birth, the Rolfe family is considered one of the First Families of Virginia.
