Edward Norton shocked to learn great-grandmother is iconic historical figure: 'Oh, my God'
of PBS’s “Finding Your Roots,” a show that traces the family trees of entertainers and public figures, where the actor learned that he’s distantly related to Pocahontas.
“I understand that was family lore,” Gates said to Norton, whose family had long claimed that they were related to the iconic indigenous figure. “Well, it is absolutely true.”. In 1616, Pocahontas traveled with John Rolfe to England, and died of unconfirmed causes about a year later.“John Rolfe and Pocahontas got married on April 5, 1614. Shakespeare dies in 1616, just to put this in perspective,” the genealogist continued. “Pocahontas died sometime in March 1617 in Gravesend, England, and John Rolfe died around March 1622.”
