General Notes: Husband - Griffith John


He arrived in Pennsylvania April 11, 1709; he married and they settled in Uwchlan township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. He was a minister among Friends nearly seventy years.


Notes: Marriage

Her date of birth and marriage are as given by the source. But this seems a bit young for getting married, even for that time. And there is a six year gap between their marriage and the birth of their first child, which is unusual. Perhaps there is an error here and they were acually married in 1719?
