[Magdalen] Bishop Guerry of South Carolina

[Christopher Hart]

The referred article corresponds to my own knowledge from family history.
Bp. Guerry introduced his wife's niece to a young priest in his diocese,
and so my grandparents met. His son Moultrie Guerry was my father's
godfather. So while I am not a descendant of the martyr there is a pretty
strong family connection.
