Notes

The best account of John Fellows' life to date remains George L. Stephens, 'John Fellows: A Minor American Deist' (PhD, University of Maryland, 1956), which is available to view online.

Fellows was closely linked to Joel Barlow, Thomas Paine, Elihu Palmer, and towards the end of his life, the poet Walt Whitman.
