Greetings, So nice of you all to start a new Quaker List. I would like to post my WILSON Ancestors that I found on a trip to the British Isles in 1999. I do not know how long the family remained Quakers, as my Grandfather (born in Davenport, Iowa, USA )and his Mother(born in Ireland) were Episcopal. His Grandfather and Grandmother, George Wilson and Martha Dodson were married in 1833 at St. Nicholas Church in Liverpool, the Church of England, and all of their children were baptized there.. However, I found my 5th GGrandfather had built a home in High Wray, Hawkshead, LAN. in 1728 for his wife Barbara and they were very active Quakers. I quote from a book that I have: (Wilsons of High Wray and Kendal together with the Families connected with them. 2nd Edition. 1890) "Anthony Wilson, of High Wray, in the Parish of Hawkshead, county Lancaster, baptized at Grasmere 18th May, 1673, died 1755,iv.21(he purchased land in the parish of Hawkshead, and built the House of High Wray, Windemere, in 1728), and married 1702,v. 8, Dorothy, daughter of George Benson and his wife Margaret, daughter of George Braithwaite, of Croft Head, in the parish of Hawkshead; she was born at Stang End 1678, ii, 17 and died 1755, v. 23,." Anthony and Barbara were married on 8 May 1702 at the Quaker Meeting House in Hawkshead and they were buried in the Quaker Burial Grounds, Colthouse, Hawkshead, in 1755. Any connections??I have a lot of information about this family and would be glad to share. Bev Hannigan, Texas, USA
