| Summary: | Ann Crowley (1766-1826) was born into a lower middle class family in Shillingford, Oxfordshire and was one of 8 daughters; her parents are not named. At the age of 16 she received a visitation from God. Following the deaths of her father and a sister, and the loss of three sisters to marriage she understood that she must rely on the consolation of God to overcome her bereavements. In 1796 she obtained permission to travel and preach as a Quaker minister, and she journeyed throughout England, Scotland and Wales. Crowley's spiritual memoirs serve as didactic models for converts and as testimonial of the author's true vocation. |
