Edmund Tatterstalls Course of Life, the Part of which was noted
down from his own mouth
I was born (in Heyroid, Worley Township,) in ye Parish of Hallifax 5/16 Oct. 1691.
(and baptized in my fathers house by a Church Minister)
My Father departed this Life when I was 6 Years old. My Mother
took the Tuition of me, because of a small Elate? which I had to expect.
I was sent to School till I was 10 years old & learnd to read & write
afterwards I was put out Ap Prentice to a Clothier for 10 years, and saw
and heard nothing but wickedness & Irreligion. Reing free from my
Prentiship I married and followed the Worsted Trade and led a
loose Life of Idleness and Drunkeness & The People & Servants which I
employed proved bad and unfaithfull, & I was forced to give up Bap-
ness, designing to go to ye Isle of Man, to a Brother in Law & there to
follow my Trade afresh, was already on Beard The Vessel, but was three 2? times
brought back because of the Rebellion in England at that time. After the
Battle at Preston I came back again & settled in Hallifax to wearing wove

to trick me putting money into my Pocket, but I woud? being a desperate
Fellow, got off from them. Half a year after I went^as a Volunteer among
the Kings Dragoons, left my life and Childrn, but slaid only 13 weeks
and then got at length my Dismission, which I desired. I returned to
my wife and Childrn and followed my Trouble Wearing in Hallifax. It was
at that time that I earnestly sought to become religious, went
every month to the Communion in the Church & entred into a So
ciety with some Church men who in principles were Calvinists
with 2 them, I continued till I was 49 Years old. At that time I was
seized with a violent fever, & cluzing? that Sickness I found that
I was not in a State of being saved, salvation & had not that Satisfaction
and rest, which I thought I had. I recovered from that Illness
and resolved to join no Party, untill I was better Satisfied in
my Soul. When the Brn came to keep checkings at the Worlds End
