Herman Husband (1724–1795), also known as Harmon Husband, was a farmer, radical, pamphleteer, and preacher. He was born in Cecil County, Maryland〔''Annual Report of the American Historical Association For The Year 1894, Washington, D.C, Government Printing Office, 1895, pp. 155 ''-'' 157.〕 and raised as an Anglican. One of the many to be inspired to the Great Awakening after hearing George Whitefield preach, he became disenchanted with his original faith and became a "New Light" Presbyterian and then a Quaker. Husband was twice elected the North Carolina assembly, being expelled during his second term. ==Affiliated with Benjamin Franklin== Moving to Loves Creek in what is now Siler City,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sandycreekba.com/352391 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ncmarkers.com/Markers.aspx?MarkerId=H-61 )〕 North Carolina〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://randolphhistory.wordpress.com/tag/sandy-creek/ )〕 and later to Sandy Creek〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://randolphhistory.wordpress.com/tag/sandy-creek/ )〕 in what is now Randolph County in the 1750s, Husband established himself as a farmer and religious leader. He was later asked to leave the Quaker Meeting and he did so but continued to follow many of their tenets including strict pacifism. Philosophically he was drawn to the wisdom of Ben Franklin. Husband and Franklin kept up a correspondence through John Willcox,〔George Willcox 1988. ''John Willcox 1728-1793 of Chester County, Pennsylvania, Cumberland County, North Carolina and Chatham County, North Carolina''. Historical Research Company. page 27. 〕 a merchant of Cross Creek, now Fayetteville, North Carolina, who went to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania twice annually to purchase goods. John Willcox was the son of Thomas Willcox whose paper mill in Concord Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, manufactured paper used by Benjamin Franklin for his publications.〔George Willcox 1988. ''John Willcox 1728-1793 of Chester County, Pennsylvania, Cumberland County, North Carolina and Chatham County, North Carolina''. Historical Research Company. pages 1-2. 〕 Husband was thus in receipt of political pamphlets of a patriotic nature which he reprinted and circulated among his fellow citizens.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Herman Husband」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
