David Stuart Dodge

David Stuart Dodge (1836–1921) was a friend and supporter of the Reverend Dr. Daniel Bliss, the founder of the Syrian Protestant College, Beirut.

Bliss was asked to spearhead this task and in 1862 travelled to America to seek sponsorship, where he met Dodge's father who became the College's largest sponsor.

Willard Irving Twombly was an inventor involved with the early production of steam-powered cars and was developing a low-cost vehicle suitable for the taxi-cab industry.

[3] Within a year of this petition, Twombly was in court accused of having an affair with Ethel Helen Long, the wife of Francis Reese, who sued him for alienation, demanding $50,000.

[4] Twombly divorced his first wife and married Long, but the relationship soured, and she eventually accused him of bigamy and misconduct, for which he was sent to prison in Michigan.

The parents gave chase and the incident was reported widely in both the national and international newspapers; eventually they were located in Washington where they were attempting to get a marriage license.

[9] They were separated, but permitted to marry two years later in London; Ellen Ada died in 1883 whilst visiting India with her husband.

Anson was ordained after studying at the General Theological Seminary, New York, and returned to St Simon's Island, where he became the rector at the same church.
