I have a couple of questions about colonial vestries which I would like
to put to the list.  Is there a difference between a vestryman and a
church warden?  Would it be correct to say that since a county's
justices of the peace and other officials were appointed by the colonial
governor, the vestries were the only local political entities that were
elected?
