    The Ancestry of William Clowes Transcription of Sketch in the Primitive Methodist Magazine by A.A. Birchenough Part 1 ALTHOUGH belonging to the people, the principal founders of the Primitive Methodist Church were proud of their distinguished forbears, and of the wealthy families with which they were connected. Walford, who had married a niece of Hugh Bourne’s, asserts that “the ancestors of the Bourne family were Normans, and came into England with William the Conqueror. They settled in North Staffordshire, where their descendants, bearing the name of Bourne, are very numerous; but the estates obtained by the Conquest have long passed from the family, and are now in other hands.” Lorenzo Dow, whose preaching and writings influenced Hugh Bourne to hold his first Camp Meeting on the Cheshire slopes of Mow Hill, claimed descent from the same family of Staffordshire Parkers, whose sons became entitled as the Earls of Macclesfield, and have played an important part in English national life. On his maternal side, William Clowes was descended from an old and distinguished family who for several centuries had been resident in North Staffordshire. Mrs. Ann Clowes, the mother of the great evangelist, was a daughter of Mr. Aaron Wedgwood, whom Clowes describes in his interesting “Journals” as “an extensive manufacturer in the pottery department in conjunction with Mr. William Littler.” These co-partners were brothers-in-law, for Mr. Aaron Wedgwood had married Littler’s sister. The mother of Mrs. Clowes was the daughter of a gentleman potter, who resided at a mansion at Brownhills, midway between the towns of Burslem and Tunstall.
