He was also the guardian of the infant son of John Rolfe and the Indian princesss Pocahontas. There is some dispute as to his ancestry. Burke's Discontined Peerages and Baronetcies indicates his father was Sir Hugh Stukeley (1488-1422) of Affeton Castle and mother was Elizabeth Chamberlin, daughter of Richard Chamberlin and Anne Downes. There is some dispute asto Sir Hugh"s ancestry. Burke's indicates that his father was Peter Stukely of Marsh and his gfather was George Stukeley of Marsh. His gmother was Joan Luttrell, daughter of Sir James Luttrell and Elizabeth Courtenay (1430-1493), who was a descendent of multiple royal lines including the Kingdoms of Leinster, Scotland, France, Castile and Edward I and Henry III of England.
