What 
  they don't seem to realize that this quote wasfrom a letter to a friend, 
  Dr. Benjamin Rush, and thatthe people he was ranting against were a group 
  of Christians who were trying to take over a school 
system.

Were there school systems established in America at the time 
of Jefferson or was he complaining about a "sect" taking over or buying out a 
school or group of schools in a particular location? I think free public 
education was very scarce if it existed at all during Jefferson's time, but I'm 
not sure.

  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.

Neat! 
  Did the land stay in your family?Where did you find all this out? Most 
  people in the U.S.know bupkes about their 
ancestors.

I don't really know if family still owns it or not. He had six 
sons and the one I'm related to eventually moved to Snowhill Maryland and some 
generations later migrated to Kentucky. A cousin of mine in Kentucky who is a 
retired judge had done some research and put me on the right trail.I 
started looking up censes in Snowhill Maryland and eventually traced the family 
generation by generation back to Ambrose. I actually found a lot of information 
on him and his family. Some genealogist had written upa report about 
himmuch of which I just passed on. 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.

  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.
