    1. [MAFRANKL] 1778: Warwick: Spiritual Wife-ism Controversy
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: Jillaine_Smith Surnames: Hix, Hicks, Doolittle, Marsh, Barber, Leonard, Miller, Millard, Smith Classification: biography Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.massachusetts.counties.franklin/2158/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I have recently completed a near-final draft of "God, Love and Lust: The Tale of Four Revolutionary Families in Warwick, MA". It attempts to flesh out the mysterious period around 1778 in Warwick's history during which time an itinerant Baptist minister came to town and wreaked havoc on the town, disrupting four families-- Doolittle, Barber, Marsh and Hix. I have also attempted to document the fates and outcomes of these families. (My husband is descended from the Barbers.) I would be interested in obtaining feedback about what I've compiled. You can find it at the link below, but be forewarned-- it's 23 pages long! Thank you.
