There is a story included in a family history book written by an aunt of mine in the early 1970's about a little girl named Mary Angell...sickly with tuberclosus and it very closely parallels the 57 cent story. The time setting is the mid/late 1700's and from Rhode Island and the "founding preacher" was my 4th GG Gf.He was also a BAPTIST preacher.

I'm not going to belabor either story, but I kinda/sorta find them both suspect to some degree.
