The link below appears to be problematic. The citation can be found by searching Google Books for "founding fathers."

Subject: Antedating of "Founding Fathers" by Barry Popik
I hope that the OED regularly monitors barrypopik.com for antedatings. For example, "founding fathers" (OED 1941), was antedated to 1894 by me, but Barry has it in 1886:

“Patriotism in Our Churches”
By Rev. Edward Anderson
Our land has been made secure (who doubts it) because of the Christian
principle
that underlies it, as shown in the deeply religious phaze of our war. Are
prayers of the founding fathers to be echoed in prayers of the establishing
sons, for nothing?
