I am finding Jamaica quite interesting of late. It would be great if we can get a male relative of Cookie Kinkead to participate in the DNA project. As far as I have been able to gather, the background for this letter extract is that at that time there was a political battle over the movement of the capital of Jamaica from Spanish Town to Kingston. The Governor, Charles Knowles, had succeeded in getting enough support to move the capital in the Spring but this support had collapsed by the Fall of that year. I don't see enough in this note to determine who the writer was or what side he was on. I would have to assume he was for the Kingston party and was declaring that they had enough support to move the capital to Kingston. It would be nice to know for sure as this would determine where the Kinkead tavern was (ie. Kingston versus Jamaica). So far I would have to assume Kingston. Best wishes!
