History

It was recorded as a Patawomeck village ruled by Japazaws, elder brother of the weroance. He conspired with the English adventurer and sea captain, Samuel Argall, who planned to capture Chief Powhatan’s daughter, Pocahontas on April 13, 1613 to use as a hostage in English negotiations with Powhatan. They wanted captives and property returned.

According to Mattaponi and Patawomeck tradition, Pocahontas was residing there with her husband, Kocoum. Their daughter, Ka-Okee, survived, cared for by other Patawomeck people after Kocoum’s death. A historic marker about this incident stands near the Potomac Creek Bridge on U.S. Route 1 in Stafford.
