Name of the Day

Name of the Day:
Victory BirdseyeA delegate from Onondaga county to the 1821-22 New York State Constitutional Convention. He appears to have spoken five times, and served on one committee.
I would guess that this is either a man born in or around 1783, or a man born to a proto-evangelical household. My money is on the former.
I do like early 19th-century names.

That's a great name. I always liked John Greenleaf Whittier, myself.
Names are just so bland these days.
