Notes:

After exhaustive research by Peter Church, he concludes James Luke Church was the "Henry" CHURCH 1820 Settler in MD Nash's book.
I thought I should tell you that,with the help of Peter Church, we now have the Memorial written by James Luke Church to "Mr. Hayward Esq. Commissioner for adjusting the claims of the Settlers of Albany" - so, without a doubt, the 1820 Settler was James Luke and not Henry.

I did write to the Archives for this Memorial, but they came back saying ther was no letter from JL Church. So Peter very kindly went to the Archives and photographed it. The index page is a bit untidy, and the J and L come together to look lie a messy H. But there is no doubt that it is the Memorial of J.L. Church.(from Dorothy Mowlem)
