Samuel Fothergill
Samuel Fothergill (1715–1772), was a Quaker minister.
==Education and early career==
He was the sixth son of John and Margaret Fothergill, well-to-do Quakers of considerable means at Carr End, Wensleydale, Yorkshire. He was born in November 1715. He was educated at Briggflats, near Sedbergh, and afterwards at a school at Sutton in Cheshire, kept by his uncle, Thomas Hough. At the age of seventeen he was apprenticed to a Quaker shopkeeper at Stockport.
As soon as his apprenticeship was over, he went to live at Sutton with his uncle, and united himself with the Society of Friends. For some years he seems to have passed through much mental trouble, and it was not until 1736 that he was accepted as a Quaker minister. No certificate to travel appears to have been issued to him until 1739. Some seven months previously he married Susanna Croudson of Warrington, also a Quaker minister. In this year he pastorally visited the Friends in Wales and the west of England, and in the following year those in Yorkshire and Durham. Early in 1744, he visited Ireland. His letters to his wife show that Quakerism there was declining, and that he made great efforts to revive it. In 1745, his ministerial journeys were much interrupted by the Jacobite rebellion, and from that time till 1750, when he was present at the yearly meeting of the Irish quakers, he chiefly laboured near his residence.
