Summary
Born in Middlewich, Cheshire Elizabeth Ashbridge (1713-1755) had a pious middle class childhood. She was raised by her mother Mary, an Anglican, while her father Thomas Sampson, a naval surgeon, was away at sea. This narrative charts her life, thoughts and emotions through three marriages, as an emigrant in America, a religious conversion to Quakerism, and her eventual return to Britain to preach in 1753.
