Notes
Marriage
James SHINN and Abigail LIPPINCOTT announced their "intention to marry without coming before the monthly meeting. The shocked and horrified Quakers appointed committees to speak to the obstreperous young folk and also to their parents, and at the next monthly meeting, these committees reported that the trouble was that the young people were determined to marry but that not being able to gain their parents' consent, they could not pass the meeting. John SHINN and Restore LIPPINCOTT, the fathers, then went out under a large beech tree near the meeting house to discuss the matter and were shortly after joined by their two wives, and later still by some of the grave and reverend elders of the meeting. The result was that they gave their consent to the marriage, the intentions were properly and regularly declared and the young people were married at the house of Restore LIPPINCOTT, and John SHINN gave them one hundred and twenty-one acres of land in Nottingham Township for their new home."Endnotes
