Note

Capsule biography of the Reverend Goldsmith, who led the Congregational Church in Little Compton, RI. Thomas Burgess and his daughter Ruth Burgess were involved in "coming out" of the church when Rev. Goldsmith refused to preach against slavery. This biographical sketch indicates that he studied with Rev. Kirk who, for a time, was anti-slavery.
