The Life of the Single Sistr Susanh Watson, who went to our
Savr, July [?] in the Choir House <add>at</add> Fulneck. Concerning
which the following is Her own account.
I was born June 25th 1751 at Little Gumersall in
the Parish of Birstal, Yorkshire, and Baptizd by
the Brn. In my 6th year my dr Father departed this Life,
and as I was of a weakly constitution my dr Mother took
all posible care of me, <add>and</add> altho' her cheif concern was, that I
might learn to know & Love our dear savr, and to that
purpose <add>she</add> took me to the Childrns Meetings, where I had
many drawings of grace in my heart, particularly att
a meeting held by Br Worthington, wherein he display'd
the tender regard our dr Savr had for the Childrn that
he gathord even the smallest tear Shed on his account.
<add>this was spoke</add> in so feeling a manner, as made a lasting impression on
my mind, so that I never forgot it. In my 15th year it
pleasd our Savr to take my dr Mother home to himself
by means of a very Short sickness. Her last blessing, Just
before Her happy departure, affected me much, at which
time She reccommended me in a tender manner to the care
of my Eldest Sistr, who has ever since faithfully perform'd
the promise She thon made, and we with my Sistr Mary
together lived very Comfortably togethor; my sistr taking
all posible care to preserve us from the world. In my
girls yoars I already began to feel my natural depravity
and had a hard Struggle with self my self, which thro'
our dr Savrs faithfullness towards me torminated in a
desire to Live with the Sistrs which I made known, and
obtaind leave to remove to the Houme Oeconimy in my 17 year
