• Notes

  Earl H. Davis in his Vestal Family history states that the Vestal clan came from Huntingdonshire in England, the country of Cromwell, Lord Protector. It was a hot bed of Quaker Zeal. Huntingdon is much like Cambridge, flat, agricultural low hills to the west and crossed with small streams. It should be noted however, that this man's son was a Baptist who married a Quaker woman, Alice Glover.
