Image via Wikipedia

1732- My fifth great grandaunt, Mary Potts, is born to David Potts & Elizabeth Jane Lane in Germantown, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Thomas Potts marries Susanna in Abington township, Pennsylvania.
The marriage was accomplished in a manner "contrary to Discipline of Friends," and on January 26, 1733, they made an acknowledgement for their, "Disorderly Walking," which was accepted. "Disorderly walking" was a term that was used to cover a multitude of infractions, including fornication and having out-of wedlock children.This shows that Susanna was also a Friend, but her maiden name is not given. They resided in Bristol Township.

"It is agreed in the unity of freinds that all professing the truth, who have or shalbee guilty of any disorderly walkinge by which the name of the Lord comes to bee dishonour'd, shalbee by a particular paper for every such disorderly walking, condemned publiquely by freinds; if so bee they who are or may be concern'd shall refuse after foure or five exhortacions & admonitions, according to the good order of the gosple, to give forth a publick testimony, under their hands by which such particular disorderly practices shalbee judged & condemned."

November 1730, Connecticut

November 9, 1730- Deliverance Doolittle is born to Abraham Doolittle & Mary Lewis in Cheshire Parish at Wallingford, New Haven, Connecticut.

From the Doolittle Family: Abraham Doolittle and his wife Mary Lewis settled in 1710 in Cheshire parish, north of the village, being among its earliest inhabitants and shared in the struggle to get a start in the world...the privations and dangers of frontier life and the toils and cares of home and growing family. They were undaunted by hardships, and their heroism never failed. These dwellers in the wilderness inherited a taste for refinement and education from an intelligent and cultured ancestry, but with the scarcity of literature, the minister and school teacher were almost their only source of instruction. Industrious, energetic, capable and possessed of firmness of purpose, they established among the hills of Conn. one of those homes of happiness, of taste and character on which the foundations of the Republic were laid. Household fnrniture was rude and scanty. Usually no carpets covered the floor; each room had a bed and a chest of drawers occupied the parlor. Sun dials took the place of clocks, and pewter and wooden dishes were used instead of china and silver, which were kept for special occasions.

November 22, 1730- Samuel Turner is born to John Turner & Abigail Richards in Hartford, Connecticut.

(Deliverance Doolittle is my second cousin 8 times removed. Our common ancestor is Abraham Doolittle.
Samuel Turner is my second cousin 8 times removed. Our common ancestors are Edward Turner & Mary Sanford. )
