Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Gathered Fragments: Briefly Illustrative of the Life of George Dillwyn, of Burlington, West New Jersey, North America
George dillwyn was born in Philadelphia on the 26th of the 2nd month, 1738, 08. His parents were members of the Society of Friends. He was at an early period of life deprived of his father, but the loss was supplied in the qualification graciously vouchsafed by the Shepherd of Israel upon his surviving parent, who, judiciously retaining her affectionate in?uence upon his youthful mind, watched over him with maternal tenderness, and with deep interest in the welfare of his immortal spirit, and, in the course of time, her pious care was amply rewarded by her son's becoming dedicated to the service of God. He related of himself that when very young, he had often been sensible in our meetings for divine worship of the in?uence of heavenly love, and the ground which his pious parent had laboured to prepare, being made productive by the heavenly Husbandman, brought forth good fruit.
