could if she could stand it. Furthermore she said that Sarahwas not permitted to mourn her more than half an hour.This tells something about Patty´ s character, I think.Martha was buried in the same grave as herbrother John had been laid in four months earlier. Thisgrave is located behind City Road Chapel. This act wassymbolic, because they were sister and brother bodily, andthey stood close to each other during their lives. They didnot separate in death but followed each other to the otherside with only four months interval.It was to Martha that John bequeathed £40 in histestament from the sale of his books, which should be givento her after his death. She did not live long enough toreceive this inheritance. What she herself left went to SarahWesley, whom she liked so much.KEZZIAH (MARCH 1709 – 9/3 1741)Kezziah Wesley was born in the Parsonage inEpworth. She is the only one of the seven girls from theParsonage in Epworth who did not marry. The historianshave discussed what the reason could be, why she did notmarry. There can have been several different reasons whyshe did not marry, among others have been because of herweak health.She had an ambition to have a well equipped brainthrough studies. She grew up in an environment thereintellectual work was highly esteemed. Her intellectualeducation was often interrupted by illness.66
Kezziah had also another side, which can havefrightened possible suitors. There are namely no historians,who write about her beauty, as they wrote about her sisters.She seems to have been conscious about this fact throughwhat we call the mirror I. This means that one mirrorsoneself in the environment and learns from the response orthe feed back that one gets from the surroundings. This isclearly seen in a letter that she wrote to John Wesley, herbrother, in 1729. John sent money to her. It was in a letterto James Hutton 9 th of April 1739 that John asked him togive a guinea to Charles Wesley to be forwarded to hissister Kezziah.KEZZIAH CHANGES TO KEZZEYWhen she was 18 years old she was calledKezzey, as a pet name, when she came to a boardingSchool in Lincoln where her sister Emilia was Principal,and Kezzey should work as an assistant and at the sametime be a student. Both jobs should be half time. She gotfree boars and lodging as well as free education as paymentfor her work as an assistant. She did not have the incomethat could buy the cloths she needed to show her position inthe School hierarchy. The result was that she returned toher home in Epworth.Kezzey was reserved and she experiencedfrustration or disappointment that her economic situationwas such that she could not continue her studies.She thought that she should be short-lived. Shesaid further that with her economy, the unmarried civil stateshould be the best thing for her.67
