Philip Gawthrop

A Genealogical Record of the Descendants in the Male Line of Thomas Gawthrop - An Early Traveling Friend (Quaker), Volume 1 (through the 8th Generation) Philip Gawthrop

The author analyzes the history of the Gawthrop name in England and documents the name's various spellings in the first chapter. Chapter two examines the history of the village of Gawthrop and the countryside that surrounds it. The Gawthrop families of Skipton, England, are discussed in chapter three, while chapter four takes a look at Quakerism. Chapters five through twenty-five comprise the majority of the book and provide extensive genealogical information on Thomas Gawthrop (1709-1780, Gatebeck, England) and three generations of his descendants. A full-name index adds to the value of this work.
