About Rev. John Barrett Kerfoot

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Barrett_Kerfoot

"From age six until Kerfoot began his theological studies in 1833, the Rev. William Augustus Muhlenberg was "a major influence" in Kerfoot's life and the primary factor in his education. Muhlenberg was "unequalled in some respects as an educator of youth." He came to Lancaster in 1820 as associate rector of St. James's Church, Lancaster and opened a Church Sunday-School. Kerfoot began attending the school when he was six years old."

"Kerfoot was confirmed on April 19, 1832, by the Rt. Rev. Benjamin T. Onderdonk, Bishop of Episcopal Diocese of New York"

"Kerfoot's nephew was the founding headmaster of St. Mark's School in Southborough, Massachusetts (1865)"
~• curator note: It is not specified if this is on the Kerfoot or Anderson side of the family. The founder of St. Mark's was Joseph Burnett whom, I assume was the first headmaster... •~ MMvB
