Either Strachey was uninformed, or Pocahontas was married to an Indian a not violent presumption considering her age and the fact that war between Powhatan and the whites for some time had cut off intercourse between them or Strachey referred to her marriage with Rolfe, whom he calls by mistake Kocoum.
Smith, in his "General Historie, says the Indians have "but few occasions to use any officers more than one commander, which commonly they call Werowance, or Caucorouse, which is Captaine." It is probably not possible, with the best intentions, to twist Kocoum into Caucorouse, or to suppose that Strachey intended to say that a private captain was called in Indian a Kocoum.
