Lonny Watro's remarks about a Baptist ancestor prompt me to put in a plug
for Andrew Levy's superb book, "The First Emancipator," about Robert
Carter, who was among the first high-status Virginians to become a
Baptist.  The book portrays the struggles of the early Baptists against
violent abuse, Carter's extraordinary emancipation, and the twists and
turns of Carter's religious conversions.  It is one of the best and most
enjoyable books I've read on 18th-century Virginia.  A must-read.
