The plaque gives Hoole the post-nominal "A.M." which we are not familiar with. It's also used in a 1790 book ('Analytical Review...'), naming Hoole as the author of another book. And we've found it used for other Reverends up to the current day. All we can find is that it's the American version of M.A., Master of Arts, but that doesn't seem relevant here.
