Stephen Gano
Stephen Gano (December 25, 1762 – August 18, 1828) was a physician and early pastor of the First Baptist Church in America in Providence, Rhode Island.
==Early life and Revolutionary War service==
Stephen Gano was the third son born to Rev. John Gano, a prominent Baptist evangelist, and Sarah Stites. Gano was born in New York City while his father was pastoring Gold Street Baptist Church (First Baptist Church in the City of New York). Stephen Gano planned on attending Brown University where his uncle, James Manning, was President, but the Revolutionary War prevented him from enrolling. So at the age of thirteen Gano went to study medicine with his uncle, Dr. Stites. At age 17 in 1779 Gano served briefly as a surgeon's mate in the American army, then resigned to become a surgeon's mate on a privateer. Shipwrecked, marooned, and then taken prisoner by the British, he was confined in leg irons on a prison ship for some time.
His father had previously joined the military as a chaplain, and a Gano family legend holds that John Gano baptized George Washington.〔 No historian or biographer of Washington accepts this tale.
He was admitted as an honorary member of the New York Society of the Cincinnati on July 4, 1784.
