Welcome to Celebrate poe  - Episode 390 - The Quaker Preacher

Today I want to talk about Elias Hicks - a fascinating person who greatly influenced Walt Whitman.

Greetings, Mr. Bartley.

Hello, Mr. Whitman.   Now today I want to talk about Elias Hicks.

Ah, Mr. Bartley - you mean the Quaker preacher.r  

Yes, Mr. Whitman - the one and the same.

Yes, I find the subject of Elias Hicks to be a most fascinating one.  And you know that I greatly enjoy learning about the ancestry of various individuals who were important to my life.  

Yes, Mr. Whitman - it seems that family history was an integral part of one’s identity for individuals living during your lifetime.

Exactly, Mr. Bartley, in the case of Elias Hicks, his family was descended from Robert Hicks, who, in 1622 at 42 years of age, arrived on the ship Fortune in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
