About Elizabeth Twining

"Twining and his wife, Elizabeth, also became foster parents to the acclaimed artist and Quaker preacher Edward Hicks after Hicks' mother died in 1871 when he was 18 months old.

Hicks' Memoirs give us a glimpse at the relationships he had with the Twining family.

The artist called David Twining, "one of the most respectable, intelligent and wealthy farmers in the county of Bucks" and credits his foster mother, Elizabeth, for his path to ministry." (see sources)
