I have found many of my ancestors on the 10,000 name petition, but have
questions about it.  Some of them were Baptists, but at least one was a
nominal Anglican.  Did non-Baptists also sign this petition, and was
their motivation sympathy for the cause or also a desire to abolish the
tax-supported state church?  Did Baptist ministers circulate the
petition?  Is there a brief history of the petition somewhere on the
Internet, or in a library?  Thanks, Mary Miller
