Johanne de Gennes, Prioress of Amesbury (vol. iii,p. 118).—I notice that Mr. Kite, in his u Notes on AmesburyMonastery, repeats a statement, made by the late CanonJackson in The Wiltshire Arcluvological Magazine (vol. x, p. 61),to the effect that the first head of the Amesbury convent, sentfrom Fontevraud in 1177, was Johanna de Gennes. Whenrecently writing a paper on the same subject, I found CanonJacksons statements, on this point, quite unintelligible, andon consulting Sir Richard Moares account of Amesbury inModern IVilts, I noted that Canon Jackson had made a con-fusion between the first Prioress of Amesbury and a muchlater Prioress, Johanne de Gennes, also sent from Fontevraud,in 1294. If Mr. Kite will refer to Sir Richard Moares work,he will, I think, find that that is so. C. H. Talbot. Lacock Abbey. Q 2 228 Wiltshire Notes and Queries. - QUAKERISM IN WILTSHIRE.
