Notes:
The Haggers were a well-known Quaker family in the Essex/Hertfordshire/Bedfordshire area. Records show a Stephen Hagger married to Hannah, producing 11 children between 1731 and 1747, all being born in either Chishill or Buckland. Stephen apparently died in 1770 in Kingswood, Hertfordshire. Of the 11 children, a Joseph Hagger (probably the author of the present manuscript) marries Hannah (née Neatby); their son Thomas Neatby Hagger was baptised at the Bedford & Hertfordshire Quaker Meeting in 1782.
