Items to consider for amplifying the article

[edit]

It appears as if Wadsworth presided over the marriage of Royal Navy doctor James Halkerston and his wife Margaret Hubbard while a minister at First Church, Boston (per Boston M, B and D records). It also seems possible that he may have composed the Latin epitaph on the Halkerston stone in Granary based on information Margaret gave him (per the last line: "To his most cherished memory/His mourning wife Margaret places this"). Materials might also be gotten from the Wadsworth association in Maine, where a significant branch of the family originated, and the HWL house, now a NPS site. Also the NEHGS and the Congregational Library probably have materials. Just thoughts as to sources....in some other lifetime I'd have time to look them up, but I'll leave that option to others.96.237.240.126 (talk) 18:18, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
