Notes

  • Note*: Gwynedd Monthly Meeting, minutes 11-30-1762: "A certificate was granted in this meeting for our Friend Margaret Williams to Abington."2
  • Note: Margaret Williams witnessed the marriages of three of Anthony's children:
    1763 m. of Hannah to Nathan Livezey
    1764 m. of Mary to William Hallowell
    1772 m. of Anthony to Rachel Jarret

    She was chosen on the 25th of 5th month 1772 as an elder of Abington Particular (Women's Mtg.) . (Men's minutes, Cope p. 528).

    She is possibly the Margaret Williams, sister of Cadwallader Evans of Philadelphia, named in his 1773 will. Gwynedd Monthly Meeting recorded the births and marriages of several Cadwallader Evans and several Margaret Evans, so the possible relationship is not readily clear.

    This compiler could not find a record of her death in the Abington meeting records.
