Sons of Noblemen Series: Henry Spelman

Henry Spelman (1595-1623) was the son of Sir Henry Spelman, a distinguished antiquarian of that day. He left his home in Norfolk, England at the age of fourteen to sail to the Virginia colony aboard the ship Unity. He probably died in the 1622/1623 massacre by Powhatan.
