Notes for Hannah GATCHELL
Pusey and his wife Hannah were members of Marlborough Friends and on antislavery committees then helped establish Longwood Progressive Friends.
Hannah Cloud, was disowned by the Hicksite Friends for participating in Longwood Progressive Friends Meeting (est. 1855) in 1857 (refer page 156) and an anecdote is related which illustrates the courageous spirit by which she was animated in what she felt to be a righteous cause. At one time, when the feeling was very strong against the Longwood Friends, the doors of their former meeting were closed against them, but at the suggestion of Mrs. Cloud a man climbed through one of the windows and threw the doors wide open. It is pleasant to relate that the Friends thus at variance arrived at an amicable settlement of their differences of opinion, and that Mrs. Cloud was requested to return to her former place in the society.
