• Notes

  Notes from "The Hull Family in America" by Charles H. Weygant, p. 260: "Robert Harper was a Quaker of prominence. In 1660 he stood under the scaffold and caught in his arms the body of his friend William Leddra, the martyr preacher, when cut down by the Boston hangman. For this act Harper and his wife were the same year banished."
