I felt sorry for this list when I saw it was "up for adoption" :-)
My interests ? My Grand-mother was Jane HAIGH ....
I started off in 1998 with just that information and nothing
else.
Thanks to relatives, friends, Yorksgen and Roland Haigh I now have her
line going back to my
8th great Grand-father Edward HAIGHE ca. 1596 :-)
All in the Kirkburton area for hundreds of years.
Starting with Pheobe (nee BATES) (2 May 1731 - 23 Jan. 1785)
(4th Great Grand.mother)
a lot of the family became Quakers.
See also my Yorkshire Links Pages for various HAIGH/HAGUE records.
Pheobe Haigh's Miracle
'...stopt about half an hour at Peobe Haighs who once told me, that before her convincement, she had been for many years so infirm that it was with difficulty she could get to & from bed or even walk up & down the house, in which state a desire was raised in her mind to get to a meeting of Friends, & being obedient there unto she
set forward & was enabled to get to Highflatts on a Week?day, from that time forward she mended apace & not only became a diligent attender of our own meetings, but walked on foot to many others at a considerable distance, I thought this was worthy to be recorded amongst the many miracles the Almighty is working for his People inwardly & outwardly.'
Pheobe Haigh (1731?85) resided at Heighmoor House (between Shepley and Shelley). She was the widow of James Haigh.
