Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorials of Elizabeth Ann Wesley: The Soldier´s Friend The Wesley family is a very old one, one of the oldest in England, and has been traced in an unbroken succession back into the times of the Saxons, and more than a century before the Norman Conquest. The first name on the family roll is that of Guy, who was made a thane (a member of the Saxon parliament) by King Athelstan (925-40) about the year A.D. 938, and who married Phenan, his kinswoman, the daughter of an old chieftain. He lived at Welswe, near Wells, Somerset. There the family settled, and lived on their own domain for centuries, passing through changes consequent on the wars of various sovereigns, bat ultimately holding their own homestead, right on to near the end of the xviiith century. The twenty-second occupier of the family estate, in direct succession, was named George Arthur Wesley; who was for some years in the army, and squandered much of his property; so much, indeed, that ultimately about a century ago, 1785, the remainder of the estate was sold, and the old family mansion pulled down.
