Notes

• On the Isle of Man: "About a mile from Kirk Maughold, a field near the road and tram-line is known as Ruillick-ny-Quakeryn, 'the burial-ground of the Quakers.' The Friends came to the island about 1650 and made many converts, but religious intolerance brought about, their expulsion and imprisonment and the confiscation of all their property." ~• from: http://www.isle-of-man.com/manxnotebook/fulltext/rq1908/text.htm < but go to the project on Manx Quakers for further elaboration.
