Notes

Note
Jennet came from Moor Head, Wyresdale. In an artical entitled "Jennet Cragg - A Quaker Heroine" George Adamson writes This is a tale of True Grit as known among the North Lancashire branch of the Kelsall family. The Kelsall's were among the first of the quaker families of the area, and for more that 300 years have maintained close ties with the Society of Friends. All it's members stem from a single ancester who arrived at Rowton Brook farm in Quernmore, Nr Lancaster one day in March 1687. His name was Joseph and he was 2 years old. He was accompanied by his elder brother John who was three. Both had been carried there from London in Panniers sling either side of a horse ridden by their grandmother Jennet Cragg. Thier long and arduous journey had been occasioned by the untimely deaths of their Quaker parents John & Elizabeth Kelsall.
