Ann ('Nancy') Bolton (1743-1822) was the eldest child of Edward Bolton, a Witney baker in Oxfordshire. She became a close friend and correspondent of John Wesley for nearly 30 years. Converted to Methodism at 19, she became a class leader in 1777 and kept a detailed spiritual journal. Wesley called her 'the sister of my choice' and 'the perfect pattern of womanhood'. He often stayed with her and her brother Edward. She was prone to ill health and Wesley offered with much spiritual and medical advice. He published over 20 of her letters in the Arminian Magazine and left her £100 in his will. Having been dissuaded by Wesley from an earlier marriage, in 1792 she married George Conibeere of Gloucester, who died in 1799. She died at Witney in 1822, bei
