How interesting! I was baptized Dutch Reformed. My mother was from Philadelphia, and Northern Ireland before that.
That reasoning was why Stonewall Jackson didn’t marry the sister of his late first wife.
How absolutely exciting!!!!!
My best friend’s cousin is still deeply connected with one of the churches in Westchester Co NY. I collect a great many Dutch Reform books because of the John Henry research. It’s always seemed like a religion that was WAY ahead of its time.
If you enjoy old documents, this is the 1814 Psalms and Hymns. Everything I buy I scan in and put up to share.
