Mtg. Records. *** In its early years Menallen Meeting was disti nctively an Irish meeting, the majority of its members being from Ireland. Among them were John Blackburn, Judge of the York County Court in 1764, County Treasurer in 1759 and 1766,5 and member of Ass embly. Daniel Winter, William Delap, Joseph Hewitt and son George, from Ballyhagen Meeting, County Armagh ; John Wright, from Castleshane, County Monaghan ; John Morton, from New Garden,Chester Count y ; Thomas Nevitt, from Sadsbury ; William Newlin, and Moses Harlan, son of George, from Chester County ; George Wilson, Solomon Shepherd, and Jacob Hinshaw, from Grange near Charlemont; Robert Mickl e, from Dublin; and Francis Hobson, Jr. *** Many young Friends, impatient of the slow and troublesome process of passing meeting, would hasten off to "ye priest" or to a magistrate, and be marrie d without any delay or formality. Ancient church registers, notably those of the Old Swedes' Churches of Philadelphia and Wilmington, record the marriages of many young runaway Quakercouples. The mon thly meeting minutes abound in the record of such infractions of discipline, and the elders of the meeting were ever busy laboring and dealing with the delinquents. If the offenders would not confess their fault they were "disowned" or expelled from the Society. At New Garden Monthly Meeting, in 1730, a complaint was made that "Mary Moore is gone out from friends & is Marryed by a Justice of ye p eace Contrary to freinds advice to her." For this she was disowned. At the same meeting in 1736, "John Mickle is married out by ye priest," and was disowned.
