Your thoughts please - I was recently surfing the net when i came across a website which shows a transcription of the Will of George Washington - America's first President. In this Will it mentions that a bible is to be given from the president to General de la Fayette which in turn it says " was presented to me by the Right reverend Thomas Wilson, Bishop of Sodor & Man." my 1 cousin 10x removed... How can i research this more and findout if the president and the bishop actually met. The isle of man and America would be worlds apart... Your suggestions please |

I know it is a long shot but have you thought of writing to the White House as they may have an archive and be able to have a look. If you don't ask you don't get |
