Jane was born in what is now Henrico County, Virginia on October 10, 1650 to Thomas Rolfe and his English wife Jane Poythress. In about 1675, she married Robert Bolling of Prince George's County, Virginia, and they had only one child, John Bolling, who was born on January 26, 1676. Jane is said to have died that same year, either in child birth or soon afterwards.

Through her son Colonel John Bolling (who died April 20, 1729) who had at least seven children with his wife Mary Kennon, many Americans can claim descent from Pocahontas.
