John Wesley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Wesley was born in Epworth, 23 miles (37 km) northwest of Lincoln, and died in London. |
 | | John Wesley was the son of Samuel Wesley, a graduate of Oxford, and a minister of the Church of England, who had married in 1689 Susannah, twenty-fifth child of Dr. Samuel Annesley, and herself became a mother of nineteen; in 1696 he was appointed rector of Epworth, where John, the fifteenth child, was born. |
 | | Wesley's Oxford friend, the evangelist George Whitefield, upon his return from America, was also excluded from the churches of Bristol; and, going to the neighbouring village of Kingswood, preached in the open air, in February 1739, to a company of miners. |
