Not illustrated. 1874 edition. Excerpt: ...seldom found among them. Thomas Valentine seems not to have belonged to the then "standing order," or Congregationalists, as did most of his neighbors and.townsmen, but must have adhered to the faith of his fathers; as we find that in 1752 he was allowed 5;. &/. from his town tax, on account of being an attendant upon the Episcopal Church.
