Post 621 was to you
Sorry, I wasn't dodging you, I have to take care of business every now and then.
In post 621, your link isn't showing. Post me the link and I'll be happy to check it out.
Now, the links to the religious affiliations...
Those compilations just don't pan out. First of all, the original records do not show religious affiliations. If you follow the references to the compilers notes you find:
"Episcopalianism can be inferred from his prominence"
"His funeral oration was delivered by"
"his associations were Episcopalian"
"A native of Connecticut, is usually taken to be a Congregationalist". There were no Congregational churches in Connecticut.
"Was buried in a Quaker churchyard"
Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera all the way down the list.
Not one name, not one, is referenced to any historical document or quote that shows religious affiliation.
