Notes for Lydia (Spouse 1)
One of John Hussey's sister in laws, a Mrs. Lydia
(Perkins)Wardwell, is documented as being persecuted in Hampton beginning
1659 for being a Quaker. In 1662 after heavy fines and confiscations from
tithe collectors hired from the local pastor, she was rendered almost
penniless, the authorities having taken nearly everything but the clothes on
her back. In response to one last summons to appear at the local church in
1662 she disrobed before entering in effect giving them even that.
