Hi listers
Well you would think the name Onesiphorus Chant
would be rather uncommon but it has been suggested
their were at least three of them.
Can anyone clarify this? I have an interest in one
or possibly two of them. So would appreciate details
to differentiate one from the others.
I think they all have Somerset line origins early 1800's?
Does this biblical name have connections in each case to Methodism?
regards
Michael
