  Notes	"The nth of 8 mo. 1686 John Fflexney and Daniel was ordered by ye meeting to endever to still ye reude peopel, and ceepe things in good order." ... From the minutes of a business meeting in 1697 it is possible to discover the names of those who identified themselves with the cause of the Friends in Witney and the neighbourhood. They were as follows : ? John Clark Willi Warring Jera Wearing Gilles Tidmarsh Willi Right Hewry Ffranklin Willi Heydon Ffran Dring Hen Brisco John Flexney ... " It was ordered that Willi Wearing and Henry Brisco should goo and sell ye Widdow Wateres goods for to pay ye said Widd depte, and bring an account to ye Monthly meeting of it, also it was ordered that John Clark and Jeremiah Wearing should goo to the Skole so often as they shall see meete to see as good order be cept ; also it was ordered that Daniel Fflexney should assist Margreat Hamblin, and bring an account to ye Monthly meeting of what they have done in geating of their depts up." Most curious is it to note how particular the Friends were with respect to marriage. " Thomas Smith, blanket maker, sun of Thomas Smith of Heyley, carpenter, declared his intention of taking Jeane Dutton, widdow, to be his wife, and the said Jeane Dutton declared her intention of taking ye said Thomas Smith to be her husband, and he is to bring a certificate from his father to signifie his consent, and Jeremiah Wearing and John Fflexney are appointed to make inquiry conserning their clearness upon ye account of marriag, and bring an account to ye next monthly meeting." " It is ordered that Jo Fflexney should go to the Church warder to understand a method convenient to dispose of ye money gother (gathered ?) on ye brifes (briefs) and give an account to ye next Monthly meeting."
