From a Great Man Comes a Great Son-in-Law

When I mentioned that we were going to Rhode Island Christian told me that one of his great, great, great, (maybe more greats!) grandfather was the founder of Rhode Island. So off we went in search of a statue that Christian said was somewhere in Providence. As you can see we found it!  
From Wikipedia I found out some things about this famous relative.  "The political and religious leader Roger Williams (c. 1603-1683) is best remembered for founding the state of Rhode Island and advocating separation of church and state in Colonial America. His views on religious freedom and tolerance, coupled with his disapproval of the practice of confiscating land from Native Americans, earned him the wrath of his church and banishment from the colony. Williams and his followers settled on Narragansett Bay, where they purchased land from the Narragansett Indians and established a new colony governed by the principles of religious liberty and separation of church and state. Rhode Island became a haven for Baptists, Quakers, Jews and other religious minorities. Nearly a century after his death, Williams’ notion of a “wall of separation” between church and state inspired the founders of the United States, who incorporated it into the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights."
Although I appreciate all Roger Williams did I have to say that it can't compare to the wonderful (many greats) grandson that became our son-in-law almost 15 years ago.  Best legacy ever!
