Cleanup and religious denomination question
I started the cleanup on this article, but much more needs to be done. I have little time, though I may be able to upload pix of the historic plaques soon. Today, I trimmed or removed the book promos, and flagged those remaining without page cites. I was disappointed to notice the absence of any mention of Van Lew's religious faith. Clearly, her father stopped being a Quaker, as they were required to manumit their slaves before 1800. I don't know whether she was a member of St. John's Episcopal Church very near her home, as had been George Wythe, who also had Quakerish sensibilities, or of a number of other denominations (including a Quaker meeting led by members of the Pleasants family, which owned other hardware stores) nearby.Jweaver28 (talk) 10:22, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
