Note 8 — CHAPTER 1. (continued 2)

Of Thomas Robertson not much is known, but he appears to have been a faithful labourer in his day. Ambrose Rigge, in the Account of his Life, states. “A fellow-labourer was prepared for me, which was Thomas Robertson of Westmorland; who was made willing to leave his dear wife and tender babes, to go with me into the Lord’s harvest.” In Letters, &c., of Early Friends, p. 226, is a letter from Thomas Robertson to Margaret Fell, under date 1655.
