[MR] BBC: Bodies of Early Jamestown Leaders Identified

[Garth Groff via Atlantia]

Noble Friends,

Today the BBC is reporting that scientists have identified by name four 
early leaders of the Jamestown colony who were prominently buried in the 
early church at the settlement: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-33680128 .

Also note the mention of high lead in their remains from glazed 
tableware and pewter. Something worth knowing. Makes you wonder about 
the madness that struck some French and English kings (Charles VI of 
France and Henry VI of England). Maybe it wasn't madness at all, but 
rather lead poisoning.

Forgive me for posting this about an out-of-date event, but I'm sure 
this will be of interest to many. In addition, these men did live during 
our time period.

Yours Aye,


Lord Mungo Napier, Who Wishes You All a Good War
