1805 THOMAS PICTON. Manuscript Sermon Archive of First Chaplain to West Point. Anglican but with some condition challengesA wonderful small archive of sermons and manuscripts by Thomas Picton [1775 1861]. Picton was born in Wales, was set aside for the ministry in Wales and emigrated to the United States. He was initially pastor at Westfield, New Jersey from 1805 1818, then appointed the very first Chaplain at West Point. He held the post from 1818 1824 and was replaced by one of the most prominent divines of the era, Charles P. McIlvaine. He is buried at West Point and
