JOWETT ENTRIES IN THE BRADFORD QUAKER MINUTES

The following extracts were taken from Rob Stephen's transcript of "The society of Friends in Bradford" by H R Hodgson, published 1926, with thanks to Barb King for bringing them to my attention. They reveal a strong Jowett presence in the early period of Quaker history in Bradford, largely from the same family. The earliest entries are from the 1650s, and the house of one John Jowett was used for a marriage in 1670. The last record is dated 1779, after which the Jowetts are conspicuous by their absence!

I have attempted to draw together a picture of the tree of this family, though it should be stressed that this is an estimated tree, taken exclusively from these records with no attempt to confirm the connections or identities of those concerned. Still, it is a start!
