Dedication
This web site is dedicated to my ancestors who came to Kent County, Michigan in the early 1800s. Kent County was a wilderness at the time but the families survived the hardships. The families of
Kraft (1869), Cook (1836), Patterson (1828), and Spaulding (1836) were among the first to arrive in Kent County,
Michigan.
Edward Spaulding lived in Jamestown in the year 1619 and endured
the Indian Massacre that occurred in the
Virginia Colony on Good Friday, March 22, 1622.
About 347 people, or almost one-third of the population of Jamestown
were killed by attacks of the
Powhatan Confederacy under Chief
Opechancanough. Please visit
Matthew's dedication
to his Grand Mother. |
