I try to go through them but I quit and do something else. I must resolve to do better.
I was reading some info from Williamsburg College and found the name of one of our ancestors . The poor guy got in trouble with the Presbyterians and they cut off his ear.
I had no idea that the Presbyterians would do something like that. There is a P. church just down the street, I'd better be careful.
Presbyterians didn’t run the show in colonial Virginia, they were outsiders who typically tried to live outside the reach of the state church. That doesn’t justify maiming a person, but there might be more behind it than you know because they were not the religious authority there.
