As she was born native American records are sparse to her actual birthdate. It is estimated she was born in 1595 and it is recorded that she met john smith in May 1607, maker her around 12 years old . . .

"The actual birth date of Pocahontas is unknown but she was thought to have been born around 1595.5 In May 1607, when the English colonists arrived in Virginia and began building settlements, Pocahontas was described by the colonist John Smith as "a child of tenne years old" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocahontas
