Book on Hannah (Rex and Mackelcan)
There was a book written in England in 1939 entitled "The Lovely Quaker" about Hannah Lightfoot. The intro to the books by
the author states that he started his research to disprove the rumour of the marriage. The first page has a picture taken from a
pendant which is of a woman believed to have been the mother of General Mackelcan, "Hannah Lightfoot". The book is by
John Lindsey and in it he states "I believe there was a marriage, not because I want to believe it,but because I cannot see any
other possible explanation for the unshakable tradition and for the amazing careers of General John Mackelcan and Mr. George
Rex, the reputed sons of that marriage". There is a great deal on Mackelcan and Rex. Its worth reading.
