Thomas Lincoln's religiosity
What did people who knew Lincoln's father have to say about his religious beliefs and practices? When they were about to leave for Illinois, the Pigeon Creek Baptist church granted him a letter of dismission, stating that he had been a member of the church in good standing but it was withdrawn after objections by members of the Grigsby family:

I would guess this was based more on personal issues than religion, but I still would like to know more about Thomas Lincoln's religious beliefs and if they changed over time, ie if he became more religious after he started his family in Kentucky.
