In 1688, they were probably inhabiting at Swanbourne Mill, on the outskirts of the little Sussex town, but at what period the family became tenants of the mill is not known. The tragic termination of this holding in 181 3 will be told later. Thomas and Susanna were Quakers, and the husband's name appears as a witness to a marriage at Arundel in 1673 {The Pedigree Register, 191 3), and also, later, on the books of the Arundel and Chichester Monthly Meeting — ii. 1 684. In 1 707, for the demand of Philip Thorne, the vicar of Arundel, for forty shillings for tithe which the Quaker declined to pay, he had taken from him two hundred and four pounds of cheese of the value of fifty shillings, and in 171 1, "seven west Countrey Cheeses worth Three & Twenty shillings & threepence " {Sussex Sufferings).
