I think free public education was very scarce if it existed at all during Jefferson's time, but I'm not sure. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'

I think free public education was very scarce if it existed at all during Jefferson's time, but I'm not sure.I don't remember the details and don't have time tolook it up right now, but as I remember it was in fact a school system in some county that was in dangerof having its curriculum taken over and run by a Christian group, changing everything to a "properChristian education." Sorry I don't have the timeto research further, but here's the full letter.Jefferson was not a man to pull his punches... This would be in perfect keeping with what Jefferson said in regards to separation of church and state.The federal government would not adopt a specific denomination to impose over the other denominations.Baptists would fear Jesuits educating their children, many denominations would be upset with Quakers educating their children and the list would go on. Each region of the countryhad majorities that adhered to specific denominations and nobody wanted to have the federal government take sides with one or have their children educated with a "proper Christian education" as defined by a specific denomination that the people in that region didn't agree with. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'

I also went back another generation and found his father, William Dixon who was born in 1599 in London and hismother Katherine Barkley. Ambrose had three other brothers and asister, Elizabeth, who also came to the new world.Eventually I would love to go check out Snowhill Maryland and the place where Ambrose settled, the name of the County escapes me now.

A lot of this stuff can be found on Ancestory.com and some other genealogical sites.Well, it's nifty to be able to find that much out.My late mother was heavily into our family's genealogyand did all kinds of research, intending to write itall up one day, but she never got around to it, and herresults exist only in reams and reams of scribblednotes, clippings, old letters, photocopies of stufffrom libraries, in near-total chaos. Shame to have itall go to waste, but my sister and I simply don't haveenough interest to try to sort it all out. So we justremember little bits and pieces of the stories she'dtell us from time to time about her latest discoveri Don't ever lose your mothers notes. You might get the desire some day to finish her work.I have lots of little notes and scraps I have found on other lines in my family that I keep. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
