[edit] Clean up

These Danforths should be broken out into their own entries, and not be under their uncle, brother, or father.

Also: Thomas D. was deputy-governor, not governor.

I note that this entire entry is lifted wholesale from the Appleton's Cyclopedia (a public domain work, but of significant age). See [http://www.famousamericans.net/thomasdanforth/]

I cleaned up the article. I removed the other Danforth relatives and adding some links. The main paragraph is still a direct quotation of this [http://www.famousamericans.net/thomasdanforth/], so it needs to be added to and taken away as seen fit. Yep that's it.

[edit] Samuel Danforth as Associate Pastor at Roxbury

Thomas Weld left the post in Roxbury in 1641 to become the colony's agent in England. It remained vacant until Samuel Danforth assumed it in 1650. Danforth remained in Cambridge until that time. His official position was "Pastor" and that of John Eliot was "Teaching Elder."
