Thomas Scattergood
Quaker kept a journal and mentions visiting Uxbridge on a number of occasions. Friend of John Hull. 1796 10th Spent most of this morning in getting ready to leave town and after dinner set off with G. and M. Stacey, in a post chaise for Uxbridge; the chaise broke down with us by the way, which did not detain us long, and about four o'clock we arrived at our friends Thomas Hull's and met a kind reception.
11th, first day. - Passed the meeting through in silence and much exercise.
From Uxbridge he went to Staines to attend the monthly meeting; and while there he wrote a letter (text given).
<, first day.- To the morning and afternoon meeting at Uxbridge, which were seasons of close thoughtfulness. I had a small communication near the close of the first, and was shut up in the last. Drank tea at Thomas Finch's and then stept in to see Thomas Ashby's weakly sife, and here I had to remember freshly, my own tired stated when in the chamber of a declining precious companion and the evidence I was favoured with in that day of her being accepted of her God – and also had t mention it.1797 3rd After dinner set off in a post chase to Uxbridge with a view of attending the burial of Thomas Ashby's wife, at Staines, on fifth-day next; arrived at Samuel Hull's before night and felt a liberty to encourage Friends to invit their neighbours. Spent the evening at T. Hull's pretty calm and resigned, except for one little miss, for which I was humbled after lying down. Oh how watchful a minister a pastor should be in all his conduct.
4th To meeting at which a considerable number were collected: E. Bevington, who is out on a visit to the meetings in Middlesex was there and appeared; but my mind was closed up again in silent conflict. O what shall be done ofr the people in this land in places, and when will the book of prophecy be opened, and their hearts also. After dinner took post chase and went to Staines.
5th – to meeting, where the body was brought....
26th – set off with Joseph and R. Smith, and arrived safely at Uxbridge, and lodged at John Hull's.
27th – Attended the meeting, where was Sarah Lynes from London, who is on a visit to the north; she appeared in the ministry, but I was silent, as well as in the evening meeting.
