Hi katydid,
Why don't you compare them to the previous generation which had Pluto in Scorpio? That was about January 1739 to about September 1749. Those kids grew up to witness and participate in a war of colonial independence from the United Kingdom.
Kind of like Brexit, only different.

In colonial 18th century Virginia, most people belonged to the Anglican Church, or Church of England. The Anglican Church was the established, or official, church. As the established church, all Virginians were guaranteed membership, with attendance and taxes mandatory.
In addition, other religious denominations, including Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists, and Quakers, established themselves in Virginia during this period. Providing structure and organization, religion permeated nearly every aspect of daily life and brought together members of each social class.
In addition to being a time for prayer, churchgoing was also an important social occasion. The hour before Sunday worship was the time for exchanging news and gossip, making business contracts, and meeting friends and family. In addition, it allowed all social classes to “show off” in their finest clothes.
Gentry and other upper class families often hosted dinners following worship on Sundays. Taking place usually near 2 o’clock in the afternoon, dinner was the largest meal of the day. With extensive household staffs aristocracy and gentry invited family, friends, and even the minister to their homes following the conclusion of the service.
Education in the 18th century was closely identified with religion. For most, formal education at a school or university was impossible; necessary education was carried out at home, by tutors in upper class households and by most children's "learning by doing" on a day-to-day basis.
Of this education, catechism, or religious instruction, was a fundamental element.
Knowledge of Biblical text, such as important stories, proverbs, psalms, and prayers was essential, and a Bible served as the catechistic "textbook."
Many families, however, were illiterate and did not own Bibles. An example would be the farm family. For families like this, one of the only opportunities to practice their catechism was at church on Sundays. In addition, most parents would have heard the more familiar stories of the Old and New Testaments, such as Creation, the Flood Story, David and Goliath, and the various stories and parables of Jesus Christ, and would have shared them with their children.
People of African descent composed a large part of the population during the 18th century.
Introduced to Christianity upon their earliest arrival in 1619 at Jamestown, Virginia, many of these Africans were willing converts. Aspects of Christianity, including a supreme being, creation myths, priest-healers, and moral systems, paralleled with the varied cults and religions of West Africa, where most enslaved people came from. By the late 17th century, when the institution of slavery was well established, many enslaved Africans had found hope in Anglican Church doctrine and in passages they heard from traveling evangelical preachers. Some established their own religious congregations.
