In the summer of 1853, Dr. and Mrs. Pruett, with her two children, Ida and Augustine Magill, went to a much frequented bathing place on Lost Island, on the coast of Louisiana. During a terrific cyclone and tidal wave, the island was submerged, and Mrs. Pruett, the two children, and a brother of Dr. Pruett, were drowned. David Weeks Magill and Dr. John Augustine Smith expected to join the Pruett party, but were delayed by the storm. Their fate, some few weeks later, was equally tragic. Dr. Smith fell from a steamboat, which was approaching Morgan City, and was drowned; David Magill joined the C. S. Army, and died from fever contracted in the service.

POCAHONTAS AND SOME OF HER DESCENDANTS THROUGH THE ROLFE-BOLLINGS.
The most beautiful, romantic and pathetic story we find in his- tory, either ancient or modern, is that of the Indian Princess, Matoaca, or Pocahontas, daughter of Powhatan, the great Werro- wance. Her story has been quaintly told by "Captain John Smith of renowned memorie," in his letter to the Queen, 1616, his "New England Trials," 1624, and his "History of Virginia," 1624. The
302
SOME PROMINENT
truth of this account had also been attested by Gov. Dale of Vir- ginia, Secretary Hamor, of Va., and the Rev. Alexander Whittaker, three of the most unimpeachable names in the early history of the colony. There are many other records, both in England and America, which prove the truth of this history, but these that are given are easily found, and deemed more than sufficient to put it beyond a doubt.

POCAHONTAS
From the original at Barton Rectory, Norfolk, England. By W. L. Sheppard
In the marriage of Capt. John Rolfe and Pocahontas, we have the nearest approach of Christian civilization and savagery on record. She must have been a unique creation, her duplicate has never been found. She was a savage, and until ten years of age her only teacher was untrained nature; yet her quick discrimi- nation and ready intuition, always choosing the good, the best, the highest, and receiving most trustingly the pure, the spirituelle, the
303
VIRGINIA FAMILIES
beautiful, proves her to have been endowed with the highest and most ennobling traits that have ever blessed humanity.
For over a year Pocahontas was held as a hostage by Gov. Dale and lived in his family. During these months she proved a willing and apt scholar in many things. An old chronicle says quaintly, "When instructed in the Christian religion she made good progress and was baptized." While staying with Gov. Dale, she met a young Englishman, one Capt. John Rolfe, Gent., of the old family of Beacham Hall, County Suffolk, England. They were married at Jamestown, and, a year or so later, Capt. Rolfe took her to England, where she became the guest of the Virginia Company, was introduced at court and received marked attention from the Queen and her ladies. She was also "entertained with special and extraordinary state festival and pomp by the Lord Bishop of London." Imagine what the contrast must have been to her, taken from the wigwam of an Indian chief, to the palace of England's queen. Some one has said, "It was small wonder this wild flower of the wilderness drooped and died when transported to the hot bed of civilization."
The health of Pocahontas became affected by the excitement and strain of court life, and she pined for her baby boy. In 1617 Capt. Rolfe determined to return to America, and took passage on a vessel belonging to the Virginia Company, which was specially fitted up for the comfort of his wife; but on the eve of her embarkation, she died at Gravesend, and was buried under the chancel of St. George's Church, where the tablet erected to her memory and record of her death and burial may still be seen. On the tablet is inscribed, "Pocahontas Rebecca Rolfe, b. 1595: d. 1617, wyff of John Rolfe, Gent." At "Beacham Hall," Norfolk, England, there is a handsome portrait of her, painted in 1616, by de Passe.
The name of Rolfe is Danish and first occurs in history when Rolfe Kroke was King of Denmark. This special branch of the Rolfes are recorded as owners of Beacham Hall, County Norfolk, where they were living as far back as 1560. The first entry in the record is the marriage of Eustaee Rolfe to Jener (Joanna). These were the grandparents of John Rolfe. The record further states that John Rolfe, son of John Rolfe and Dorothea Mason. was b. May 6, 1585. John Rolfe, Jr., was one of the prominent

characters of his time, being the first Secretary of State and Recorder General of Virginia, also a member of the Royal Council for the colony. Thomas Rolfe, the only child of John Rolfe, Jr .. and Pocahontas Rebecca, b. 1615 in the colony, after the melancholy death of his young mother was taken in charge by his uncle, Henry Rolfe, of London, by whom he was reared to manhood. In 1640, when he was twenty-five years old, he came to Virginia and took possession of his property, called "Varina," located some sixteen miles below Richmond. The Rev. William Stith, President of William and Mary College, speaks of him in his "History of Virginia" as "a man of distinction and fortune" in the colony. In Hening's Statutes we find the following entry, "And be it further enacted and granted that Left. Thomas Rolfe shall have and enjoy for himself and his heirs forever ffort James, ole Chickahominy ffort, with four hundred acres of land adjoining the same, with all the houses and edifices belonging to the said ffort, provided the said Left. Rolfe doe keepe and maintaine sixe men upon the place during the term and tyme of three years, for which tyme he, said Left. Rolfe, for himself and sixe men, are exempted from publique tax." That Thomas Rolfe should have been entrusted by the government with so important a position shows him to have been a man of high standing, possessing the confidence of the leading men of the time.
Lieut. Thomas Rolfe, b. 1651, son of Capt. John Rolfe and Pocahontas, married Jane Poythress, daughter of Lieut. William Poythress, of Jamestown, Va. They had one child, a daughter, called Jane Rolfe, who married (1675) Col. Robert Bolling.

The Bolling family is an old one and fortunate in possessing many valuable records and portraits. "The Bolling Memoirs," written by Robert Bolling, b. 1738, a great-grandson of Col. Robert Bolling and Jane Rolfe, are of great historic value. These memories were originally written in French, and were inherited by William Robertson, a descendant of the author. Mr. Robertson
305
VIRGINIA FAMILIES
in 1802 gave the MS. to his son, then a youth, for an exercise in translation. This translation became the property of John Randolph of Roanoke, who was also a descendant of the author. and was found among his papers. Sixty years later this MS. was returned to Judge Robertson with the following note: "The endorsed found among Mr. Randolph's papers is sent you by your old friend, William Leigh, who is now too blind to write or he would say something to you about former times and the present evil days. He enjoys good health for one of his age, nearly eighty- eight years, and would be glad to hear something from you. Mechlenburg, June 3d. 1868."
ROBERT BOLLING The husband of Jane Rolfe, the granddaughter of Pocahontas
Robert Bolling, Esquire, in the reign of King Edward IV. of England, owned "Bolling Hall," near Bradford, County Yorkshire. This Robert Bolling d. 1485 and was buried in the family vault in Bradford church, upon which is carved the Bolling arms. Boll- ing Hall passed to Tristam Bolling, whose daughter and heiress, Rosamond Bolling, married Sir Richard Tempest, and to their heirs the old Hall descended.
Robert Bolling, founder of the family in Virginia, was the son of John Bolling, of "All Hallows." Backen Parish, Town St., London. This John Bolling was descended from a younger branch
306
SOME PROMINENT
of the Bolling Hall. His son, Robert, b. December 26, 1646, arrived in Virginia. October 2, 1660, when not quite fifteen years old. He lived at Kippox, sometimes called Farmingdale, a large estate below Petersburg on James River. His dwelling house is now in ruins. Robert Bolling grew up, and early attained prominence in the colony and married Jane Rolfe, daughter of Lient. Thomas Rolfe and Jane Poythress, and granddaughter of John Rolfe and Pocahontas. They had one son, Col. John Bolling, b. 1676, the same year his mother died. He settled, lived and died on his plantation called "Cobbs," on the Appomattox River, below Peters- burg, hence his sobriquet "of Cobbs." Col. John Bolling engaged in commerce and soon became very wealthy. He is described as gay and social in his disposition and eminently adapted for society. Judge Windham Robertson, a descendant of the Bollings, in his "Biographical Sketches." relates the following anecdote of him : "Col. Robert Bolling, in England, at a feast given him by a kins- woman, met a Yorkshire lady, who hearing him talk, exclaimed, 'Oh, mine Got, you no hear dat man, an he talk English as well as me.' 'Aye, madam, and a good deal better, or I would not talk at all,' was the Colonel's quick and not over gallant rejoinder."

d, e, and f. John Bolling, Thomas Bolling and Mary Bolling were all deaf mutes and were educated in Edinburgh, Scotland, by Dr. Thomas Braidwood, a celebrated deaf mute preceptor. They were sent to his care in 1:15, and remained with him until some time after the elose of the Revolutionary War. Judge Robertson wrote an obituary of Thomas Bolling in 1836 which was pub- lished in the Richmond Enquirer. In it he says. "Thomas Bolling wrote in a peculiarly graphic style and attained an artificial faculty of speech, almost equal to natural. His grace of manner, vivacity and power of imitation made him the wonder and admiration of strangers and the delight of his friends." He died at "Gaymont," Caroline County, in the seventy-sixth year of his age. His father, Maj. Thomas Bolling, in 1812, established at "Cobbs," on the Appomattox River, the first institution for teaching deaf mutes in this country. Its first superintendent was John Braidwood. son of Thomas Braidwood, who trained his son. Thomas Bolling, so successfully.

Bolling was educated at Wakefield, England, by the celebrated Dr. Clark. His classmates were Theoderick Bland and Richard Henry Lee, with others from the colony. He wrote the "Bolling Memoirs." He was a fine linguist, a great lover of books, and after his return to Virginia, in 1756, studied law at Williams- burg. Later he was elected a member of the House of Burgesses, but died shortly after in the prime of life, being only thirty-one years old. Col.

Among the many descendants of Pocahontas, none are more remarkable than John Randolph, of "Roanoke." He, like his cousin Bolling Robertson, exhibited in complexion and physiognomy indubitable traces of their common stock. The eyes of both were perfectly Indian, black, shining and occasionally fierce. John Randolph was undoubtedly without a rival in oratory. A friend in writing of him said, "His style of speaking in Congress was
313
VIRGINIA FAMILIES
emphatically his own, original and unique. His language was simple though polished, brief but riel, and direct as an arrow from an Indian bow. He never declaimed, nor sacrificed strength, clearness or simplicity, to the more popular charms of metaphor, ete. At times he was laconie, abrupt and sententious. Though exceedingly irritable in debate he was never loud or boisterous, but uttered biting sarcasms in a manner provokingly cool, and in a voice that suggested the music of the spheres. Such was the admirable clearness and perfection of his enunciation, that his lowest tones circulated, like echoes, through the Halls of Congress. In short, in all the requisites of a great orator he had no superior, and in the power of attracting, charming and inviting the atten- tion, no equal. His foibles, heaven knows, were formidable, but they were often exaggerated and his peculiarities carieatured with- out remorse. He spared no adversary, was impotent in argument, intolerant in opposition, and but little solicitous to disguise his hatred or contempt. Much of this came from his physical suffer- ing. Afflicted with an ineurable disease, he had never known a day in health, even in boyhood. Yet he was a true friend, and his kindness was irresistible, and when he wished to evince it the tones of his voice and expression of his eye went directly to the heart." This extract is from a letter of James K. Paulding and dated 1817, who was an ardent admirer and warm personal friend of Mr. Randolph. Of all the sketches left us of this remarkable man, this letter gives the most favorable description of any I have ever seen and I am inclined to think the truest. He possessed many faults, yet they were much exaggerated. His temper was unbear- able, but how many of us are amiable when suffering? As an enemy he was implacable; neither were others sparing of him, and if they did not give him a "Roland for an Oliver," it was because they could not. It was not often his heart was visibly touched or his better nature roused to action. Yet there were times when he proved himself noble, unselfish and sympathetic. He was the best and truest of friends and his love for his mother amounted to idolatry. He never married and tradition says he never offered himself to but one woman. She accepted him, but on the eve of their marriage a disagreement arose. She fled terrified from his anger and he mounted his horse and returned home. Their engagement was broken and never renewed. None knew the cause.
