General Notes: Husband - Joshua Linton

---

In company with his three sons, Benjamin, Mahlon and Joshua, Jr., he came from Newtown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, to Washington County, toward the close of the 1700s, and bought a tract of land in East Bethlehem township, which was still owned by his descendants a century later.

Notes: Marriage

---

The marriage certificate, later in the possession of their great-grandson, Mahlon Linton, East Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, was a very formidable looking document. It was engrossed on parchment by the clerk of the meeting ("Falls township, Bucks Co., and Province of Pennsylvania"), and certifies the marriage of the parties above named. It was signed, as was the custom of the Quakers, by a great number of witnesses.
