He was born there on 6 June 1780, and at fourteen settled at Ardwick, Manchester, where he became a successful textile manufacturer. On 27 July 1803 he married Elizabeth (1779– 1855), daughter of John Jowitt and Susannah (née Dickinson) of Leeds. A strict Quaker in his earlier years, he opposed slavery and ministered in the society from 1816 to 1836. However, after a serious illness, having heard a strong Calvinist preacher in Manchester, he became more evangelical. In his Beacon to the Society of Friends (1835) he protested that Friends placed the authority of the Spirit (or the inward light) above that of scripture, and the publication provoked a major crisis among Quakers. In other pamphlets Crewdson criticized the Quaker rejection of biblical ordinances such as the Lord's supper and water baptism. Although moderates like Joseph Gurney supported him at the yearly meeting, his confrontational approach aroused local opposition. In November 1836 he resigned from the society with about fifty sympathizers and established, in Grosvenor Street, an assembly of Free Evangelical Friends, loosely associated with the so-called 'Plymouth' Brethren. In 1837 Crewdson was baptized and also administered baptism to other Quakers. He died at Bowness, Westmorland, on 8 May 1844 and was buried at Rusholme Road cemetery, Manchester. His surviving daughter, Mary, married Henry Waterhouse in 1832. His quiet and unsophisticated sincerity attracted followers, but with his death the new assembly was dissolved and many members became Brethren or Anglicans. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CREWDSON, ISAAC (1780-1844), author of ' A Beacon to the Society of Friends,' was a native of Kendal, Westmoreland, where he was born on 6 June 1780, but from his fifteenth year he resided at Manchester, and engaged in the cotton trade. He was a minister of the Society of Friends from 1816 until about 1836. In his 'Beacon to the Society of Friends' (1835) he gave utterance to a conviction that the quaker doctrines were in some particulars contrary to Scripture. The book caused an active controversy, which resulted in his secession, along with that of many others, from the society in 1836. He published several other works, including : 1. ' Hints on a Musical Festival at Manchester,' 1827. 2. ' Trade to the East Indies ' (referring to West Indian slavery), about 1827. 3. ' The Doctrine of the New Testament on Prayer,' 1831. 4.
