BN1 Much of the information in this sketch comes from John Gill, The mutual gain of Christ ... A sermon occasioned by the decease of the Rev Mr. Joseph Stennett, D. D. . . . (London, 1758), 43-47. Biographical material has been reprinted in the Baptist magazine , XI (Dec. 1819), 501-504. back BN2 Pinners' Hall record book, p. 268. back BN3 Joseph Stennett (1663-1713) , Works, I (London, 1732) , first seq., p. 34 back BN4 Miscellanea genealogica et heraldica , ed. by Joseph Jackson Howard, ser. 3, III (London, 1900), 87. back BN5 Radnage Parish Register (Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire Record Office, 173/1/1-10); cp. note by Thomas Woodcock, Baptist quarterly , 5.2 (April 1930) , 85. back BN6 Samuel Wilson, God the portion of his people; a sermon occasioned by the death of Mrs. Rebekah Stennett, late wife of the Reverend Mr. Joseph Stennett . . . (London, 1744), especially pp. 25-42. That "one of the Stennetts . . . began to preach in Abergavenny about 1706" appears to be a mistaken date for about 1716; ?One of his children was buried in Llanwenarth in 17l7?--E. A. Payne, "More about the Sabbatarian Baptists, " Baptist guarterly , XIV, no. 4 (Oct. 1951), pp. 161-166, p. 164. back BN7 Wilson, op. cit., title page and pp. 29, 36. back BN8 Joshua Thomas (1719?-1797), "A brief history of the Baptist Church at Leominster," 2 (National Library of Wales, Minor Deposit 614A), 97, and "The Baptist Church at Leomirister," Baptist magazine, 12 (1820), 136-8, 182-4. Indeed Thomas discovered very little about Mrs. Stennett: "Mary Stennett was the wife of D r Stennett . . . Tis reasonable to suppose that she was a member here [Leominster] only while her husband was . . . I can give very little account of her. She was the mother of the two Ministers . . . I do not~know when she died, nor where?

His being received as a member at Leominster is from that church's record book according to Thomas, "A brief . . .," p. 95. back BN14 These letters are referred to by Thomas; Bryan Ball located them at the National Library of Wales (MS l1095E), but apparently has misread the word "month" as "March" (Ball, The seventh-day men (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1994), 157); the manuscript letters are clearly dated as in the text above. back BN15 M111 Yard record book, 234-5. back BN16 Alfred N.
