General Notes: Wife - Susanna Cornell

---

She was a member of the Marlborough Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, which included Esopus in its jurisdiction. Her marriage to Hezekiah Ferguson, not a Friend, was a serious breach of the rules of the Society. "Marrying out of Meeting" was in those days usually followed by disownment from the Society; and it was so in this case, for the minutes of Marlborough Monthly Meeting show that she was disowned September 25, 1805, for "marrying out." The Friends were not so stiff-necked that they would not forgive and receive back an offender on a proper showing of regret. The condonement was possibly effected by her bringing her husband into Meeting with her and she was accordingly reinstated July 27, 1808, and her husband on December 21, 1808, was accepted in membership with their minor children.
