[Bob Corbett <corbetre@webster.edu>]

Mark, I am sure that major histories such as Heinl and Heinl will treat
of this, I found these sources in my own library:

furious that congress turned him down.

===============================
HOLLY, James Theodore (1829-1911).

A free, black American citizen born in Washington, D.C., Holly came to
Haiti
in 1861 as part of James *Redpath's *emigration program for American
blacks.  Holly was instrumental in establishing the Episcopal Church's
mission in Haiti, and, in 1874 became the first Episcopal bishop of Haiti,
and the
first black bishop in the Episcopal Church.

President Boisrond-Canal, in 1877, recognized Holly's unique strategy of
ordaining and advancing native black clergy, and awarded him money to
travel to England to raise funds for his mission.

Holly was a staunch ally of black ascendency and argued that the mulatto
elite had abrogated its moral responsibility to the nation.  He worked
closely with black American diplomats to Haiti, and, in 1869, along with
Ebenezer Bassett, opposed President Grant's plan to annex Santo Domingo to
the United States.
