2. Who was “Old Jeffery?” 
 From December 1716 to January 1717, the Wesley household was visited by what they called a poltergeist.  The girls named him “old Jeffery” after a man who had once lived in the house and died.  John blamed the haunting on his father not keeping a vow made back in 1701 (to not live with his wife until she accepted William as King of England; he moved away for a year but returned).

3. What did Wesley’s parents call him?

 On February 9, 1909, the parsonage burned to the ground.  The family exited, but John was left in his room upstairs.  He went to the window and was seen by the crown below.  Realizing they didn’t have time to fetch a ladder, they stood upon one another’s shoulders to reach him and pulled him out just before the roof fell in.

 Although Wesley’s heart was warmed in 1738, it was back in 1725 that he declared that he wanted to give his life completely to God.  But he was going through the motions without having a feeling of assurance of salvation until the Aldersgate experience.

6. Who started the group nicknamed the Holy Club, or Bible Moths, or Methodists? 
 Charles Wesley started meeting with friends at Oxford in 1729.  When John joined, he was the only ordained clergy and became the unofficial leader.  They held strict and methodical ways, which led to their nicknames.  According to Wesley, the term "Methodists" was used to describe a group of ancient physicians due to their practices.

10. Why did Wesley start preaching outdoors?
 Soon after he returned from Georgia, he found that the churches didn’t agree with his preaching on holiness and they began banning him from their pulpits.  Upon visiting Bristol, George Whitefield introduced him to the idea of outdoor preaching.  Although unsure at first, he started and continued to preach in this fashion for decades to come.

11. What issue caused the separation of George Whitefield and Wesley?

14. To whom did he marry and when?
 Although he was friendly with a couple of ladies in his college years, he became serious about Sophy Hopkey in Georgia.  But he was unsure if he should marry because it might be detrimental to his ministry, so he procrastinated and she married another.   He fell for one of the Methodist converts in England about 1748-49, Grace Murray.  But Charles was concerned that a marriage might harm the ministry and he made sure she married someone else.  Finally, John ignored his brother and married Mary Vazeille in 1751.  She was the wealthy widow of a London merchant.  It wasn’t to be a harmonious marriage, as she objected to his traveling ways and was jealous.  They later separated.

15. What was Wesley’s suggested cure for baldness?
Wesley produced a book of cures in a book entitled Primitive Physic (1747) that was widely circulated in the 1700s.  It contained hundreds of cures on a number of ills.

He wore a narrow plaited stock coat with a small, upright collar, buckled shoes, and a three-cornered hat

 His final letter of Feb. 24, 1791 was to William Wilberforce.  It spoke of Wesley’s opposition to slavery and urged Wilberforce to take action against it.

18. What were Wesley’s final words?
 It is typically recorded as “The best of all, God is with us.”  After bidding some friends farewell on March 1, he mustered up all his strength, lifted his arms and spoke those words twice.  But he did speak afterward.  He said his prayer of grace when Mrs. Charles Wesley visited.  During the night, he tried to say the 46th Psalm, but could only get out “I’ll praise.”  The next morning, just before 10 am, several were gathered around his bed.  As Joseph Bradford was praying, they heard Wesley say “Farewell” and he passed on.
