There had been accounts of cannibalism during the ‘Starving Time’ but now it’s been proven. Apparently, some starving folks dug this little girl up and had her for dinner. Read the article and catch the account about the guy who killed his pregnant wife, salted her down, and ate her.

I saw that article. I would think that some of us might have ancestors from Jamestown. I hope none of my ancestors were involved!
