Obviously, it's predestined to catch fish. Later generations saw the light and became Baptist, but the first of the Denton clan to come to America was a Presbyterian minister, one of the founding fathers of the first Presbyterian church at Hempstead, Long Island.

Did consider the predestination angle. I did not follow that path either.
