b 2- 1-1727, dt John & Ann (Ashton) Birthright Friend


d 7-18-1805, age 78y Dis 1-5-1766 -- "she has joined in marriage by the assistance of a presbyterian teacher with a man of that profession"; The disownment of Jane Richardson Mckinley evidently caused much controversy. The Women's Mtg wanted to accept her acknowledgement but the Men's Mtg did not. The matter was appealed to the Quarterly Mtg which on 12-12- 1765 directed that she be disowned & that the men's & women's meetings cease being at odds.
