"People have never associated Jamestown with religion, but it was positioned to make a statement."

(Jamestown, Virginia)—The church in Jamestown, where Pocahontas married John Rolfe, has been found. The discovery reveals that the church, which some historians tried to downplay as unimportant to the colony, was actually given center-stage in the village, "the first and largest structure anyone would notice after passing through the fort's entrance."

According to the report in the Wall Street Journal, "Next spring, forensic anthropologists will exhume the row of chancel graves, which might contain the remains of the fort's first minister or Sir Ferdinando Wenman, a knight who arrived in 1610 to rally the fort's starving few and aid the colony's historic turnaround."
