Notes


The petition seeks exemption from parochial charges paid to the established church on behalf of the Lutheran congregation; the signature of Matheis Hauss is the eleventh from the top of the third page. Just above is the signature of Fal-len-din Bangert (Valentine Bungert). The petition seeking exemption from parochial charges paid to the established church is one of several from the revolutionary period that served as precedents for the First Amendment's establishment clause and free exercise clause.
