Elfed,
I have never heard of the book you mentioned. Where can I get a copy?
ALSO...I have a friend who lives in Wales who may be able to tell me more
about Gwen John. I do know that Glenn's book is questionable and that in
order to finish it on time he made up a few things. I don't know which
items, however. I've been told that the lines there for Evan Robert Lewis
are pretty much ok. However, one never knows. Have you checked St.
Alsaph's? The records could be there.
I'll let you know if I hear form my guy....he's hard to catch sometimes.
Meanwhile...let's try to get this list going again. I'll post about the
trip a bit later today in the case that stirs interest.
Stick to it...the answer will be there at some point.

Emily,
Since my last message, I have read Beth McMakin's e-mail to Gary dated 18
Oct 2002 and she mentions members of John ap Evan' family who are on the
"Robert and Elizabeth" passenger list but Gwen John is not included as a
member of the family.
However in her e-mail, dated 15 October 2002 to you , there is a Gwen
John, and her children and her husband John Humphrey on the passenger
list.
Therefore the problem which I am trying to resolve is - Is this Gwen John
the daughter of John ap Evan or is it some other Gwen John ?
T. A. Glenn in his book claims that she is the daughter of John ap Evan
but does not state where he got this evidence from .
Opinions and suggestions would be gratefully received !!
I have noticed that all the discussions which have taken place on this
list since 1999 have not mentioned the very important book "The
sufferings of Early Quakers" by Joseph Besse (1753). This book contains a
wealth of information about the Welsh Quakers and I wondered if members of
the list are aware that it is now available as a facsimile copy .Let me
know if you want more details .
Elfed.
