Notes |
- John Park was the first Blacksmith in Jamestown Township. Although John Park's name was on the first tax roll, he did not stay here much of the time. He was a blacksmith and worked at times in Grandville. In 1853 he sold to James Baker who also bought on Sec. 20, the SW 1/4 of the SW 1/4, and the W 3/8 of the S 1/2 of the NW 1/4, Sec. 29 - 110 acres. In 1856 John Park returned and bought all of Mr. Baker's land. He owned this until 1864 when he sold to John Nienhuis. He moved to Holland where he died and is buried there.
