The Bolling family is the ONLY known line of direct descendants from Pocahontas (Amonte Matuaka AKA (Lady Rebecca Rolfe)) and John Rolfe, they had ONE son who had ONE son. The BOLLING family comes in after that.

I am not sure if the BOLLINGS would pick up third Gen NA DNA and pass it down...(Through a female who married into the Bolling family)
