601	Bob Shubinsky descends through this line.	HALL, Samuel (I1773)
602	Bob was born in Middletown and raised in Trenton, Ohio. His brother Richard remembered him as follows: “Bob was the true diplomat of the family. ... He was gentle by nature and slow to anger. A shrewd businessman, he started out in the floor-sanding business but moved to Columbus to go into the home-building business. Achieving great success in a short time, he was highly respected by a vast array of friends and business acquaintances. “As a Boy Scout, he was selected to join a group of scouts on a trip to Washington, where they would have been greeted by President Roosevelt. The trip was canceled, however, due to a polio outbreak. “Bob loved to raise chickens and ducks. When we were kids, Dad constructed a pond in the side yard. What’s a pond without ducks? So Bob began raising them to fill the void. We all enjoyed them. However, I’m sure Bob never forgot the day I roasted a couple of his ducklings in the oven. “As a preschooler, my attention span was not all that great. I’d exhausted the poor little things in the pond. Having witnessed what Bob did with the ducklings shortly after they were hatched, I decided I’d do the same thing to dry them out. I still remember Bob’s surprise and outrage at what I’d done. However, given my age and remorse for what I’d done, I was forgiven. ... I never went near his ducklings after that! ... “He married Mary Musselman, his high school sweetheart. Though he was drafted, his tour of duty in the Army during World War II was cut short due to Mary’s health. They were surely proud parents of Caroline and Donny. Caroline, as you know, died shortly after her father passed. “One thing Betty and I recall with fondness—Warren and Bob bought a farm somewhere northeast of Columbus. Warren could tell you where it was located. The pre-Civil War log house was situated on 165 acres of pure bliss. The Coate family used it for reunions until it was sold. So when I look at the photo of the farmhouse, I’m always reminded of the good times! You probably remember it!” With great fondness, I certainly do remember it, as do my uncles and other family members who gathered there on many occasions. According to Bob’s brothers, Warren and Richard, Bob’s death was due to a reaction to the type of anesthesia administered during gallbladder surgery, compounded by previous reactions to anesthesia from his recent dental surgery. His liver was unable to process all of it. (C-1782)	COATE, Robert (Bob) Leroy (I10409)
603	Borbala is the Hungarian version of what I'm assuming is the Slovakian version of Varvara and Borka.	DUDIK, Borbala (I2506)
604	Born between 840 and 850, Herbert or Hubert I was also known as the Seigneur de Senlis, Peronne and St. Quentin. He gained his titles in 896. (C-1351, 1366)	COUNT OF VERMANDOIS, Herbert I * (I12024)

606	Both he and his wife are buried in Mechanics Cemetery in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They and all their children were born in Pennsylvania according to their 1860 census record when they are living in Philadelphia, PA, Ward 24, Precinct 5.1625, EL)	COATES, John Richard (I13529)
607	Both he and his wife, Mary, are listed as being born in Austria, but they spoke the language of Slovak. They had 11 children. Mary was only 15 when they married. He came to this country in 1902 and is listed with the letters PA underturalized column. His wife came over in 1896 as a child and is listed as an alien. They lived in Custer city in 1928 when her sister, Anne, died.	ONUFFER, Joseph (I10649)
608	Both Joseph and Frank lived much of their adulthood in California. The Gavin name might have been a surname change that they made.	GIEWONT, Frank (Gavin) (I1483)
609	Both Samuel and Mary were named in an 1859 deed for Newberry Township, Miami County, Ohio. Many other records could apply to this family, but they appear to have been living in Newberry Township, Miami County, Ohio, in the census records from 1830 to 1860. Samuel is likely the Samuel Hoover who was buried in Miami County in 1877. Mary may be the Mary Hoover who died in Miami County in 1873. Richard Morgan has secondhand information stating that Mary’s husband was Robert Ramage, born in 1788, rather than Samuel Hoover.	COATS, Mary Ann "Polly" (I15731)
610	Bowen L. John is listed as purchasing Troy, Miami Co., OH lots 102, 110-111 along with other possible siblings and children of David and Elanor John.	JOHN, Bowen Washington (I8287)
611	Brian Darst believes this individual was part Monacan Indian and was the source of the Indian ancestry described in Darst family tradition. The Monacan Indian tribe was centered in the Amherst, Bedford, and Nelson County areas of Virginia, around Lynchburg. This family was classified as non-white in records before 1840, which Brian believes supports his theory. Beginning with the 1840 census, the family was listed as white, possibly due to changes in racial classification. According to tax lists, the family lived in Buckingham County, Virginia, in 1798. They were in Amherst County, Virginia, through the 1810 census and in Gallia County, Ohio, through the 1840 census. According to the 1800 census, he had eight children, but records identifying more than three of them by name have not been found.	EVANS, William Foster (I9156)
612	Brian W. Coate and family lived in the Northwest section of Columbus, Ohio when I last saw him at Margaret Besaw's third marriage on 10/10/2015. He was employed as the Vice President of Lancaster Pollard, a financial advice firm.	COATE, Brian Watson (I7135)

614	Bud was a World War II hero. He was shot down over Java, participated in 35 bombing raids, and saw more than 200 hours of actual combat. He was decorated for gallantry for his service as a radio operator and belly gunner aboard a Flying Fortress in the Pacific. He was stricken with malaria on the day he was to fly home from Australia. His fiancée lived in Australia and had planned to come to the United States to marry him. Due to the poor health of one of her family members, she remained in Australia, and Bud returned there to marry her. They were living in Melbourne, Australia, when his father died in the United States in 1980. Bud lived in Australia for the rest of his life and was only able to visit America as an older gentleman. He had four daughters, all of whom, along with their large families, seem to be truly lovely souls. In his memorial book, his family remembered how he made them laugh, the swing on the large apple tree that he constantly kept in repair, his love of Eskimo Pies and biscuits, his dislike of off-key singing, and the part of him that simply could not be replaced! I’m sure all this was said with the wonderful sense of humor characteristic of this branch of the family. (F-DOC)	FORTE, Norman Leroy (Bud) Jr. (I11041)
615	Burke's Colonial Gentry and Samuel Forte's descendants chart professionally researched gives his spouses name as Mercy Eastmond. (F-458) Mercy was the daughter of James Eastmond, Esq. She died in 1733. (C-462)	FORTE, Samuel (I11217)
616	Burke, Ashworth P. Burke’s Family Records. Baltimore, MD, USA: Clearfield Company (Genealogical Publishing Co.), 1994.	Source (S889)
617	Burke’s Landed Gentry gives her father’s name as Ralph Weekes. This suggests that he was probably a grandson of the Rev. Ralph Weekes, whose will, dated August 6, 1700, in St. Philip’s Parish, lists sons Ralph, Nathaniel, John, Thomas, and Roger. (F-160) At least one member of the Weekes family was a Quaker. A Ralph Weekes is buried in a Quaker burial ground on Robert Taylor’s plantation in St. Philip’s Parish. (F-161)	WEEKES, Elizabeth (Died in the great hurricane of 1780) (I14573)
618	By 1835, his family moved to Miami Co., Ohio while he was still a fairly young child.	COATE, Thomas H. (I4935)
619	By age and last name it is likely she is a sister or possibly cousin to Julianna Pipik.	PYPYK, Urianna (I9230)
620	By age and place, it is theory that this James is the son of John.	COTES, James (I15646)
621	By age, she would have died shortly after their marriage, possibly in childbirth. She is listed as the wife of Thomas in her burial record.	UNKNOWN, Susan (I6587)
622	By at least 10 autsomal triangulations with Rachel Dubois of Northern Liberties and her grandfather, Louis Dubois, we know that either this Mary's last name is Dubois or Gentleman John's mother's maiden name is Dubois. I have not been to currently find a Mary Dubois of the correct age who is unmarried who could account for this Mary to explain the Dna triangulations between Dubois and Gentleman John Coate.	UNKNOWN, Mary (I14942)
623	By name, this is one of the possible ancestors of our Peter Mallory of CT. (F-511)	MALLORY, Peter (I13139)
624	Cainan also married his sister, Mualeleth. (F-515) He lived to be 910 years of age. (Genesis 5:9 and 14)	BEN ENOSH, Kenan Cainan Kenam * (910 years) (I13097)

630	Called Niall of the River Caillen; he drowned in that river trying to save one of his men.	MAC AEDH, Niall (I6073)
631	Candee Varville proposes that Margaret, named as a daughter in John Ponder’s will, is the same person identified as Mary in an 1806 record concerning her stepfather. In that record, he stated that his deceased wife, Mary, was the mother of his son William and of her daughter Ponder, who was then eight and a half years old.	PONDER, Margaret (I2431)
632	Capt. Moore Fauntleroy, captain of the ship on which the Underwoods traveled, received 450 acres of land on the north side of the Rappahannock River at Swan Bay on May 22, 1650, for transporting nine individuals, including George Underwood, his wife Mary, and Anne Underwood. He relinquished his rights to this land to validate a patent for 5,350 acres on the other side of the river. This information can be verified in Patent Book 2, p. 195. (C-2394) On the same day, Capt. Fauntleroy received 1,800 acres on the north side of the river, adjoining the land of William Underwood, for transporting 36 persons, including Thomas Underwood.	FAUNTLEROY, Moore (I7839)
633	Captain Richard More was born out of wedlock, according to many sources. He was the only one of the four More children who traveled on the Mayflower to survive the first winter. According to the Mayflower Society, the children had royal ancestry. “The passenger list of the Mayflower includes four children without parents. They were not orphans; however, they may as well have been. The children, between the ages of four and eight, were placed with families making the voyage. The More children are the only passengers with known royal ancestry, with descent from King David I of Scotland and King Edward I of England. “The children were baptized at Shipton Parish, Shropshire, England, as follows. The only child to survive the first winter was Richard. “Elinor/Ellen [Ellinora] More, baptized May 24, 1612; was placed with Edward and Rose Winslow. “Jasper [Jasperus] More, baptized August 8, 1613; was placed with John and Katharine Carver. “Richard [Richardus] More, baptized November 13, 1614; was placed with William and Mary Brewster. “Maria More, baptized April 16, 1616; was placed with William and Mary Brewster. [Bradford mistakenly said she was a brother of Richard.]”	MORE, Captain Richard (I10303)

636	Carter Dukes and his wife were born well before the Civil War and may have been enslaved for much of their lives. J. C. Smyley, who apparently owned a large plantation in the Edgefield District of South Carolina, held enslaved people whose recorded ages correspond to those of several members of this family. According to the 1860 U.S. Slave Schedule, he held males aged 55 and 45 (either of whom could have been Carter, if his age was estimated incorrectly or if he lived elsewhere), a female aged 45 (possibly Caty), a male aged 12 (possibly George), a male aged 6 (possibly Adam), and a male aged 2 (possibly Thomas). Smyley was listed in the Saluda District of Edgefield County, South Carolina, in 1860. If Carter was the son of Abraham, he may have been among the heirs entitled to Abraham’s bounty land after his death in 1814. Abraham enlisted in 1812 and died while in service in Illinois in 1814. His heirs would have received 160 acres in Illinois, Arkansas, Michigan, or Missouri. Abraham’s land was assigned in Arkansas. Since Carter was still living in South Carolina in 1870, I am not sure whether he ever moved to Arkansas.	DUKES, Carter (I757)
637	Cassander joined his military forces with King Hamecus of Thringia and King Arabius of Saxony. (C-1346)	CASSANDER * King Of Sicambri (I15162)

639	Catcott is only about 5 miles from Curry Rivel where his father grew up.	COTE, John (I1854)
640	Catherine also spelled her name Katherine. She gives her state of birth as Ohio in the 1880 Iowa census records. (Dist 199, Koszta, Iowa, IA Roll T9-345; Film: 1254345; P117b Image 22 as Catherine Coats) (C-482)	WYLAND, Katherine (I13581)
641	Catherine might also have maried Samuel Silknitter in 1836 and James Myers in 1848 in Montgomery Co., OH and James P. Hedges in Mercer Co., Ohio in 1850. (C-1025)	HERB, Catharina (I14636)
642	Catherine was a "zelous Quaker Minister". Her husband, known as Big George Robinson was not born a Quaker. This caused some concern when she married him. They first declared their intention of marriage on the 3rd day, 1st mo, 1687 at tark/Kennett Monthly Meeting in what was then Pennsylvania. When they declared it a second time on the 7th day, 2 mo, 1688, friends asked them to wait to marry as they were still uncertain of it. This normally would have been the meeting where they would have been given consent. They again asked for consent on the 4th mo, 1688 and members were appointed to inquire of them on these intentions. The 5th mo, 1688, the meeting finally gave their consent. They finally married at the the monthly meeting held at Catherine's father's house on the 11th mo, 5th day, 1688. They had six children. Eli Jay has her listed as the d. of Valentine and Ann Calvert. That is because he has the marriage date of these two a decade earlier than most other sources. (C-1546, 2169E)	HOLLINGSWORTH, Catherine (I11143)
643	Catherine was a Quaker. (C-1817)	LESTER, Catherine (I11262)
644	CD-100 and 102 place this Elin in this order in the family tree. CD-100 appears to have an estimate error on her birth date. It states 1345 which would be after her daughter and 35+ years after her husband's birth date. CD-102 spells herlin Ferch Meredith.	FERCH MAREDUDD, Elinor (I11456)
645	CD-100 and Donovan give the mother of Herbert II's children as Leigarde, d. of Robert. Leigarde has a long and known lineage. However, the source I trust most which is Tompsett's Royal Site gives his spouse and mother of his children as. (C-1351)	COUNT DE VERMANDOIS AND TROYES, Herbert II * (I12045)
646	CD-100 estimates her birth date about 1540. She would be only 11 at the tie of her son William's estimated birth date.	LAMBERT, Mary (I11765)
647	CD-100 gives his father as Anarad ap Rhodri "Mawr" born 857 and grandfather as Rhodri "Mawr" ap Merfyn b. 788. As this timing is stretched and as CD-100 has not always been reliable, I've chosen the lineage in the Princes of Wales that giodri "Mawr" as his great grandfather. This Idwal "Foel" was the Prince of Wales. (C-788)	AP ANARAWD, Idwal "Foel" (I11807)
648	CD-100 gives his mother as Nest FERCH CADELL instead and a line that goes back into the 300's. His title was King of Powys. (C-788)	AP GWRIAD, Merfyn "Frych" (I11748)
649	CD-100 gives his wife's name as Nest FERCH CADELL of Wales. (C-788)	AP ELIDIR, Gwriad (I11725)
650	CD-100 gives Rachel’s mother’s name as Rachel. This apparently comes from a record dated July 12, 1721, at All Hallow’s, which lists her father as Joseph Wells and his wife as Rachel. In The Southern Friend, Vol. XVI (1994), Richard Kelly states that the entry in the All Hallow’s book was in error and that the recorder simply repeated daughter Rachel’s name by accident. He also questions the birth date given for her in Quaker records as 3(May)/27/1720, which would have been before Joseph and Margaret were married. (C-575) The Cane Creek Quaker record states that Rachel was the daughter of Margaret Swanson and Joseph Wells. However, this could be explained by the possibility that Rachel had known only Margaret as her mother and gave her name without concern for the genealogical distinction. This record was made sometime after 1758, approximately 38 years after Rachel’s birth. (C-1553, D. J. Rowe) In any case, Rachel was born while her father, Joseph Wells, was farming land in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, belonging to his brother’s stepson. The Cane Creek Monthly Meeting record was also in error in stating that she was born in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Rachel was a fairly well-known frontier Quaker minister before the American Revolution. She became a Quaker when she married, which is significant because her parents joined the faith several years after her marriage. She would not have been baptized as a Quaker, and this is where the controversy in the Quaker records lies. The record of her birth would have been created after she became an adult and therefore would not be firsthand information. It is entirely possible that her mother was Margaret Swanson instead. Rachel came from radical Puritan and Catholic stock whose members sought religious freedom in Maryland under Lord Baltimore. Several of her ancestors belonged to armorial families in England. (C-575, p. 35) Rachel and her husband moved to Orange County, North Carolina, from the Monocacy Meeting in Prince George’s County, Maryland, about 1749. They helped found the Cane Creek Meeting in Orange County, North Carolina. In 1751, Rachel, Abigail Overton Pike, and several others rode on horseback to the Little River Quarterly Meeting in Perquimans County to seek permission for Cane Creek to attain Monthly Meeting status. Permission was granted on the sixth month, 31st day of 1751. Cane Creek held its first Monthly Meeting in the tenth month of 1751, when fifteen certificates of removal were submitted. (C-1663) Rachel was at the center of a major controversy in this region during the movement known as the Regulators. She was accused of an offense for defending her daughter, Charity, against false charges of “carnal knowledge” with Jehu Stuart. She later apologized, and her apology was accepted by her Quaker Meeting until she applied to remove to Fredericksburg, Virginia, in 1763. Some members doubted the sincerity of her apology and believed that her certificate should not be granted. She was then disowned by the church. Herman Husband, a prominent, outspoken liberal Quaker of the time, became involved in the dispute while defending her. Because of his forceful reaction, he was disowned in 1763 and moved north with his family, returning to Pennsylvania. The decision was appealed to the Quarterly and Yearly Meetings, and in February 1764, all the disownments except his were reversed. Rachel was granted her removal at the 1764 Yearly Meeting. (C-575) The Cane Creek Meeting in North Carolina remembered Rachel kindly at her death on the 23rd day of the 12th month, 1771, aged about 52 years, describing her as “a friend of the Ministry, wife of John, one of the first beginners of a meeting at Bush River.” (C-646, 966)	WELLS, Rachel * Minister (I14367)

By at least 10 autsomal triangulations with Rachel Dubois of Northern Liberties and her grandfather, Louis Dubois, we know that either this Mary's last name is Dubois or Gentleman John's mother's maiden name is Dubois. I have not been to currently find a Mary Dubois of the correct age who is unmarried who could account for this Mary to explain the Dna triangulations between Dubois and Gentleman John Coate.

Candee Varville proposes that Margaret, named as a daughter in John Ponder’s will, is the same person identified as Mary in an 1806 record concerning her stepfather. In that record, he stated that his deceased wife, Mary, was the mother of his son William and of her daughter Ponder, who was then eight and a half years old.

Capt. Moore Fauntleroy, captain of the ship on which the Underwoods traveled, received 450 acres of land on the north side of the Rappahannock River at Swan Bay on May 22, 1650, for transporting nine individuals, including George Underwood, his wife Mary, and Anne Underwood. He relinquished his rights to this land to validate a patent for 5,350 acres on the other side of the river. This information can be verified in Patent Book 2, p. 195. (C-2394)

On the same day, Capt. Fauntleroy received 1,800 acres on the north side of the river, adjoining the land of William Underwood, for transporting 36 persons, including Thomas Underwood.

Captain Richard More was born out of wedlock, according to many sources. He was the only one of the four More children who traveled on the Mayflower to survive the first winter. According to the Mayflower Society, the children had royal ancestry.

“The passenger list of the Mayflower includes four children without parents. They were not orphans; however, they may as well have been. The children, between the ages of four and eight, were placed with families making the voyage. The More children are the only passengers with known royal ancestry, with descent from King David I of Scotland and King Edward I of England.

“The children were baptized at Shipton Parish, Shropshire, England, as follows. The only child to survive the first winter was Richard.

“Elinor/Ellen [Ellinora] More, baptized May 24, 1612; was placed with Edward and Rose Winslow.
“Jasper [Jasperus] More, baptized August 8, 1613; was placed with John and Katharine Carver.
“Richard [Richardus] More, baptized November 13, 1614; was placed with William and Mary Brewster.
“Maria More, baptized April 16, 1616; was placed with William and Mary Brewster. [Bradford mistakenly said she was a brother of Richard.]”

Carter Dukes and his wife were born well before the Civil War and may have been enslaved for much of their lives. J. C. Smyley, who apparently owned a large plantation in the Edgefield District of South Carolina, held enslaved people whose recorded ages correspond to those of several members of this family. According to the 1860 U.S. Slave Schedule, he held males aged 55 and 45 (either of whom could have been Carter, if his age was estimated incorrectly or if he lived elsewhere), a female aged 45 (possibly Caty), a male aged 12 (possibly George), a male aged 6 (possibly Adam), and a male aged 2 (possibly Thomas). Smyley was listed in the Saluda District of Edgefield County, South Carolina, in 1860.

If Carter was the son of Abraham, he may have been among the heirs entitled to Abraham’s bounty land after his death in 1814. Abraham enlisted in 1812 and died while in service in Illinois in 1814. His heirs would have received 160 acres in Illinois, Arkansas, Michigan, or Missouri. Abraham’s land was assigned in Arkansas. Since Carter was still living in South Carolina in 1870, I am not sure whether he ever moved to Arkansas.

Catherine was a "zelous Quaker Minister". Her husband, known as Big George Robinson was not born a Quaker. This caused some concern when she married him. They first declared their intention of marriage on the 3rd day, 1st mo, 1687 at tark/Kennett Monthly Meeting in what was then Pennsylvania. When they declared it a second time on the 7th day, 2 mo, 1688, friends asked them to wait to marry as they were still uncertain of it. This normally would have been the meeting where they would have been given consent. They again asked for consent on the 4th mo, 1688 and members were appointed to inquire of them on these intentions. The 5th mo, 1688, the meeting finally gave their consent. They finally married at the the monthly meeting held at Catherine's father's house on the 11th mo, 5th day, 1688. They had six children. Eli Jay has her listed as the d. of Valentine and Ann Calvert. That is because he has the marriage date of these two a decade earlier than most other sources. (C-1546, 2169E)

CD-100 and 102 place this Elin in this order in the family tree. CD-100 appears to have an estimate error on her birth date. It states 1345 which would be after her daughter and 35+ years after her husband's birth date. CD-102 spells herlin Ferch Meredith.

CD-100 and Donovan give the mother of Herbert II's children as Leigarde, d. of Robert. Leigarde has a long and known lineage. However, the source I trust most which is Tompsett's Royal Site gives his spouse and mother of his children as. (C-1351)

CD-100 gives his father as Anarad ap Rhodri "Mawr" born 857 and grandfather as Rhodri "Mawr" ap Merfyn b. 788. As this timing is stretched and as CD-100 has not always been reliable, I've chosen the lineage in the Princes of Wales that giodri "Mawr" as his great grandfather. This Idwal "Foel" was the Prince of Wales. (C-788)

CD-100 gives Rachel’s mother’s name as Rachel. This apparently comes from a record dated July 12, 1721, at All Hallow’s, which lists her father as Joseph Wells and his wife as Rachel. In The Southern Friend, Vol. XVI (1994), Richard Kelly states that the entry in the All Hallow’s book was in error and that the recorder simply repeated daughter Rachel’s name by accident. He also questions the birth date given for her in Quaker records as 3(May)/27/1720, which would have been before Joseph and Margaret were married. (C-575)

The Cane Creek Quaker record states that Rachel was the daughter of Margaret Swanson and Joseph Wells. However, this could be explained by the possibility that Rachel had known only Margaret as her mother and gave her name without concern for the genealogical distinction. This record was made sometime after 1758, approximately 38 years after Rachel’s birth. (C-1553, D. J. Rowe)

In any case, Rachel was born while her father, Joseph Wells, was farming land in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, belonging to his brother’s stepson. The Cane Creek Monthly Meeting record was also in error in stating that she was born in Prince George’s County, Maryland.

Rachel was a fairly well-known frontier Quaker minister before the American Revolution. She became a Quaker when she married, which is significant because her parents joined the faith several years after her marriage. She would not have been baptized as a Quaker, and this is where the controversy in the Quaker records lies. The record of her birth would have been created after she became an adult and therefore would not be firsthand information. It is entirely possible that her mother was Margaret Swanson instead. Rachel came from radical Puritan and Catholic stock whose members sought religious freedom in Maryland under Lord Baltimore. Several of her ancestors belonged to armorial families in England. (C-575, p. 35)

Rachel and her husband moved to Orange County, North Carolina, from the Monocacy Meeting in Prince George’s County, Maryland, about 1749. They helped found the Cane Creek Meeting in Orange County, North Carolina. In 1751, Rachel, Abigail Overton Pike, and several others rode on horseback to the Little River Quarterly Meeting in Perquimans County to seek permission for Cane Creek to attain Monthly Meeting status. Permission was granted on the sixth month, 31st day of 1751. Cane Creek held its first Monthly Meeting in the tenth month of 1751, when fifteen certificates of removal were submitted. (C-1663)

Rachel was at the center of a major controversy in this region during the movement known as the Regulators. She was accused of an offense for defending her daughter, Charity, against false charges of “carnal knowledge” with Jehu Stuart. She later apologized, and her apology was accepted by her Quaker Meeting until she applied to remove to Fredericksburg, Virginia, in 1763. Some members doubted the sincerity of her apology and believed that her certificate should not be granted. She was then disowned by the church.

Herman Husband, a prominent, outspoken liberal Quaker of the time, became involved in the dispute while defending her. Because of his forceful reaction, he was disowned in 1763 and moved north with his family, returning to Pennsylvania. The decision was appealed to the Quarterly and Yearly Meetings, and in February 1764, all the disownments except his were reversed. Rachel was granted her removal at the 1764 Yearly Meeting. (C-575)

The Cane Creek Meeting in North Carolina remembered Rachel kindly at her death on the 23rd day of the 12th month, 1771, aged about 52 years, describing her as “a friend of the Ministry, wife of John, one of the first beginners of a meeting at Bush River.” (C-646, 966)
