The first natal chart to be published in the Brotherhood of Light books is that of Thomas H. Burgoyne, followed by that of his astrological co-author Sarah Stanley Grimke.
His last appearance in the historical record was in 1891, but in 1892 he married Genevieve Stebbins as Norman Astley. A Saint Louis news story from that year shows her to be famous but controversial as she attains national fame. She is called “Mrs. Stebbins” and no husband is named, but by this point her decades long collaboration with Astley was underway.
By 1897, in addition to managing Genevieve’s New York School of Expression and her lectures and demonstrations across the country, he was managing their investments in timber, farming, and gold mining. This story reports a successful gold strike in North Carolina.
