Pocahontas Gravesite Gravesend, England
On my mom's side of the family, we were traced back to Pocahontas (I have the paperwork), so while I was in England, I really wanted to visit her memorial and the place near her burial.
This is part of my one and only European trip that I was so blessed with! I'm still a frugal mom on a budget, but thanks to this awesome YouTube channel I met my friend, Edward who has blessed my family and friends with computers, has traveled with us before, and invited me on this trip that there's no way I could have afforded! He was so amazing to have been so generous! I'm so grateful for such awesome friends in my life!
I will get back to my renovation videos very soon and then after all that work is done, back to cooking videos and such! My schedule on videos got messed up again with a surprise visit from my ex! We hadn't seen him in 2 1/2 years, so we stopped everything for the kids to visit.

Pocahontas Statue
Pocahontas Statue in St George's Church Gravesend.
Pocahontas (born Matoaka, known as Amonute, and later known as Rebecca Rolfe, c. 1596–1617) was a Native American notable for her association with the colonial settlement at Jamestown, Virginia. Pocahontas was the daughter of Powhatan, the paramount chief of a network of tributary tribal nations in the Tsenacommacah, encompassing the Tidewater region of Virginia. In a well-known historical anecdote, she is said to have saved the life of an Indian captive, Englishman John Smith, in 1607 by placing her head upon his own when her father raised his war club to execute him. Some historians have suggested that this story, as told by Smith, is untrue.
Pocahontas was captured by the English during Anglo-Indian hostilities in 1613, and held for ransom. During her captivity, she converted to Christianity and took the name Rebecca. When the opportunity arose for her to return to her people, she chose to remain with the English. In April 1614, she married tobacco planter John Rolfe, and in January 1615, bore their son, Thomas Rolfe.
In 1616, the Rolfes traveled to London. Pocahontas was presented to English society as an example of the civilized savage in hopes of stimulating investment in the Jamestown settlement. She became something of a celebrity, was elegantly fêted, and attended a masque at Whitehall Palace. In 1617, the Rolfes set sail for Virginia, but Pocahontas died at Gravesend of unknown causes. She was buried in a church in Gravesend in the United Kingdom, but the exact location of her grave is unknown.
Numerous places, landmarks, and products in the United States have been named after Pocahontas. Her story has been romanticized over the years, and she is a subject of art, literature, and film. Her descendants, through her son Thomas, include members of the First Families of Virginia, First Lady Edith Wilson, American Western actor Glenn Strange, and astronomer Percival Lowell.

Places to see in ( Gravesend - UK )
Places to see in ( Gravesend - UK )
Gravesend is an ancient town in northwest Kent, England, situated 21 miles east-southeast of Charing Cross on the south bank of the Thames Estuary and opposite Tilbury in Essex.Located in the diocese of Rochester, Gravesend is the administrative centre of the Borough of Gravesham.
Its geographical situation has given Gravesend strategic importance throughout the maritime and communications history of South East England. A Thames Gateway commuter town, Gravesend retains strong links with the River Thames, not least through the Port of London Authority Pilot Station and has witnessed rejuvenation since the advent of High Speed 1 rail services via Gravesend railway station.
The location of Gravesend is at a point where the higher land – the lowest point of the dip slope of the North Downs – reaches the river bank. From its origins as a landing place and shipping port, Gravesend gradually extended southwards and eastwards. Gravesend today is a commercial and commuter town, providing a local shopping district: there are several of the multiple stores, and a good range of local shops. It has a market hall, open six days a week, and a recently established farmers' market. Crew for Thames tugboats live in town, with Gravesend watermen often hailing from a family tradition.
Gravesend Town Pier is a unique structure having the first known iron cylinders used in its construction. Gravesend Town Pier was completely refurbished in 2004 and now features a bar and restaurant. Royal Terrace Pier built in 1844 and originally named Terrace Pier, the prefix Royal was added in honour of Princess Alexandra of Denmark, who arrived at the Gravesend on her way to marry Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) in 1865.
Situated at the top of Harmer Street, Gravesend Clock Tower, Harmer Street foundation stone was laid on 6 September 1887. An American sculptor, William Ordway Partridge, created a life-size statue of the 17th-century Native American princess Pocahontas.
Windmill Hill, named after its former windmills, offers extensive views across the Thames and was a popular spot for Victorian visitors to the town because of the camera obscura installed at the Old Mill and for its tea gardens and other amusements.
The A2 road passes two miles (3 km) south of Gravesend town centre. Gravesend railway station lies on the North Kent Line, and was opened in 1849. The Gravesend West Line, terminating by the river and for some time operating as a continental ferry connection, closed in 1968. Gravesend is the primary north Kent interchange for high speed and metro rail services. Gravesend is served by several Arriva Kent Thameside bus services connecting the town with other areas in Kent including Dartford, Bluewater and Sevenoaks and to the Medway Towns. Passenger ferry services to Tilbury, Essex, operate daily (except Sundays), from Gravesend Town Pier.

Memorial to Pocahontas
The memorial to Pocahontas in St George's Churchyard, Gravesend. She is buried nearby, but the exact site of her grave is not known.
Pocahontas Family Tree
I show the direct family line and how I am descended from Pocahontas, her husband Kaokum, and daughter Kaokee
Note: Since George and Lucy Rowe (my 4th great grandparents) were both 1st cousins, it means they had the same grandparents. Which could mean that the Pocahontas and Kaokum are my 10th great grandparents, and their daughter Kaokee Jane is my 9th great grandmother...
Can YOU spot what's wrong with this Gravesend sign for Pocahontas' statue?
The search for Pocahontas' grave and statue in Gravesend may take a while if you follow the signs...

So yeah a beluga whale has been spotted swimming in the River Thames. The Beluga was spotted in Gravesend and has been feeding around the barges in the water there. Of course seeing a Beluga in our waters here in Kent is rather strange and to be honest a bit worrying.
The fact that we have a Beluga swimming about means one of two things… it’s very lost, or could be serious trouble… or probs both. British divers marine life rescue told boats to kept clear of the beluga and urged the public not to get too Close and only watch from ashore.
Tanya Ferry whos team the environment manger at the Port Of London Authority is monitoring the whale was pretty unclear on what the whale could eat in the area plus with the sheer amount of plastic bags in the Thames River they are worried for the whale.

The London History Show: Pocahontas & John Smith
Welcome to the London History Show!
Every episode, we'll be looking at a different statue, plaque, building or feature of London's landscape that you can find for yourself, and we'll tell its story.
According to the National Museum of the American Indian, some people prefer Native American and some prefer American Indian, so I switch between them.

Chalk Church, and Pocahontas at St George's Church
Copied from a site about it.
The parish church of Chalk village is St. Mary the Virgin. The present structure is of Early English style dating from the 11th to 13th centuries with a late 12th century north aisle. The dormer windows in the north aisle are 19th century the roof previously sweeping down to a low north wall.
The tower with its projecting stair turret is typically Kentish and a major 15th century addition. The porch, with its quaint tippling figures that so intrigued Dickens, is of the same period. The site was occupied by previous churches as recorded in the Domesday Book (1086) and the Synod of Chalkhythe (785). The church was greatly enlarged during the 14th and 15th centuries with a bell dated 1348 originally part of the structure.
And a little bit of Pocahontus at St Georges church, Gravesend, Kent.
In March 1617, Rolfe and Pocahontas boarded a ship to return to Virginia; the ship had only gone as far as Gravesend on the River Thames when Pocahontas became gravely ill.[52] She was taken ashore and died in John Rolfe's arms at the age of twenty-two. It is unknown what caused her death, but theories range from smallpox, pneumonia, or tuberculosis, to her having been poisoned.[53] According to Rolfe, she died saying, all must die, but tis enough that her child liveth.[54] Her funeral took place on March 21, 1617 in the parish of Saint George's, Gravesend.[55] The site of her grave is thought to be underneath the church's chancel, though since that church was destroyed in a fire in 1727 her exact gravesite is unknown.[56] Her memory is honored with a life-size bronze statue at St. George's Church by William Ordway Partridge.[57]
