  11.   Polkton was an isolated settlement of Seceders from the province of Groningen who in 1849 settled half way between Grand Rapids and Grand Haven. The few families met informally for worship for several years under the leadership of elder Lukas Elbers, until Holland Classis founded the church in 1854 with twenty-one souls. The declaration of secession by the consistory of this church was signed by elders Lucas Elbers and J.H. Van der Werp, and deacon Henry Vinkemulder. It stated simply, "We have betaken ourselves to the standpoint we had when we left the Netherlands, in order thus again to be in connection with the church of the Netherlands."[2]
