Comment: FloridaArmy unfortunately I can not access the first two sources and can find no record of him in the legislature only lots of church appointments in the papers for his 26 years preaching et. al. - Are you sure he was in the legislature? Is this the house or senate and what year?Found an updated first and second source which give the years and I presume house for now... KylieTastic (talk) 11:28, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
