[IMG]the representative for the state of New Jersey, was the only clergyman who was a signatory to the USofA Declaration of Independence.

Actually that is incorrect. He was ordained as a Congregationalist Minister, as was his grandfather and uncle. There is some record that he may have been "defrocked" later due to his moral conduct....


Robert G. Ferris (editor), Signers of the Declaration: Historic Places Commemorating the Signing of the Declaration of Independence, published by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service: Washington, D.C. (revised edition 1975), pages 65-67:" Lyman Hall was one of the four signers [of the Declaration of Independence] originally trained as ministers."


Hall, was also a physician, and eventually Judge and Governor of Georgia

It's funny, I go through Paisley to get the train to Wemyss Bay every time I am heading to Rothesay (twice a year at least) and I just realised I have never spent much time at all there. Thanks for the pics Alex, very nice.
