With that money, he purchased twenty slaves to work on the plantations from the White Lion and four days later, an additional unknown amount of slaves from the Treasurer. He also remarried for the third time to Joane Pearce in 1620, then had another daughter, Elizabeth Rolfe in 1621. A year later, Rolfe inscribed his will and stated himself, "of James City in Virginia Esquire being sick in body, but of perfect mind and memory," then died months afterward (Salmon). It is still vague whether Rolfe departed in an Indian slaughter, or as a consequence of severe illness. His name remained significant through Joane, Elizabeth, and Thomas. John Rolfe would define success as a triumphant cultivator of tobacco and peacemaker between the English colonist and Powhatan tribe. His efforts to save the colony through raising tobacco crops and marriage with Pocahontas; together they influenced England to continue colonization. Without him, the colony of Jamestown would have died of famine or by a Powhatan tribe
