Hannah Brown
The 1758 disciplinary case month by month, from the complaint in the fourth month to its close in the first month of 1759.
Coming
- Three generations read out of meeting — Hannah 1758, Elizabeth Harlan 1796 (suspected), Lydia John 1829. Two documented, one still to be tested in the Bradford or London Grove women’s minutes.
- The registers that were never kept — the blank leaves at St Paul’s, Chester, and the St Martin’s registry the Rev. R. U. Morgan described in 1831, which has not been found.
- Roxborough Methodism, 1844 — the generation that left both churches behind.
