Their sister, Catherine (b. 1838 ON - d. 1929 Carlton, KS) married John Robson (b. 1833 [[England]] - d. 1880 Carlton, KS), and these were the parents of Robert Alexander Robson, who would be among the founders of Grace and Truth.
Also in 1884, Christopher Frederick Schwarz emigrated to nearby Solomon, Kansas, and is remembered as having been involved with this assembly still in the 1930's.
==Tunbridge-Wells Exclusives==
==1927 split==
Around 1927, several families left Grace & Truth to rent a space at the old Newbern Brethren in Christ church building down the road, and setup an exclusive table that met for nearly ten years, and was known as the [[Newbern Assembly, KS|Newbern Assembly]]. The families included:
* Benjamin F. Jury (1870-1947)
===1936 split===
Evidently in 1936 there was another split that resulted in another exclusive meeting in Abilene, courtesy Orville Robson via Marvin Studnicka. In obituaries for Carl & May (Jury) Botz, Christopher (b. 1869 Germany - d. 1946) & Mary Katherine Grimm Schwarz (b. 1872 NY - d. 1959), Fred & Anna (Jury) Peak, and Arrol William Taylor McBoyle (b. 1884 Abilene, KS), they were each noted as involved with a "Plymouth Brethren church" as a church different from Grace & Truth, and may have been part of this split. Fred & Anna (Jury) Peak may have had a connection to the forementioned Judson Alden family thru the Botz line. It is unknown how long this meeting lasted.
==1940's==
Orville and Lois Robson were among the earliest volunteers in the 1970's with Hospice visitation in Dickinson County. Ken King, who was in fellowship with the Chapel from the late 1970's thru the late 1980's, including serving as an elder and Sunday School teacher, later served 2007-2020+ with a robust (20+ volunteers) hospice program in the area, along with many others from area churches.
In 1979, Grace & Truth hosted a DVBS with the help of Sandy Lahr, Libby Gruen and Mary Lou Engle, for twenty-six children from the area.
