INTRODUCTIONThis presentation does not pretend to be scientificin the meaning that it has notes referring to scientificliterature, but all facts can be documented.The reason why I have written about the womenaround John Wesley are due to some request from theMinisters wives in the Methodist Church in Gothenburg.The Pastoral union in Gothenburg gathered for their SpringMeeting Friday 29/5-88, which was held in Patricia´ s andmy home in Ulricehamn, Sweden.I held a talk at the meting on Lady Selina,Countess of Huntingdon. In the conversation afterwardsthere appeared to great interest for the women around JohnWesley. The enthusiasm that the subject aroused made mesay that I should write a short story about these women thatare of interest.My promise to write about Wesley and the womenaround him is now fulfilled. During my research I foundout that I had to start with the Wesley´ s home where JohnWesley was surrounded by seven sisters as well as hismother Susanna Wesley, who was a very strongpersonality. I have written about her in other connections,so here I will only present a summary of what I havewritten about her previously.I shall also give a short bibliography over books Ihave used, and in some of the books there are goodWesley-bibliographies.”The Story of Methodism”, Abingdon Press 1949is mentioned. The authors are: Halford E. Lucccock, PaulHutchinson, Robert W. Goodloe and Harold Speakman.2
Leslie F. Church has contributed with his Fernley-HartleyLectures: The Early Methodist People. The book is editedby Epworth Press, London, 1949. Further the followingbooks have been consulted: John Wesley, The Journals,vol. I-VIII as well as John Wesley, The Letters, vol. I-VIII.Several books have been written about Wesley and hisfamily by women, such as Rebecca Lamar Harmon;“Susanna Mother of The Wesley´ s”. A bibliography isincluded in this book, which I have also consulted. I wouldalso like to mention some handbooks that I used during mystudies at Cambridge and Oxford: Varsity Handbook,Cambridge University Guide 1971/72 together with otherhandbooks with information about Cambridge and OxfordUniversities.THE TWELVE PERSONS AT EPWORTHI am giving a short biography over the personsmentioned in this work, and who belonged to the 21persons strong family including the parents.THE PARENTS AND THE FAMILY:1.
