| Notes for Ruth Hendrick |
In 1793 (1793, 6, 15), Ruth was "disowned"
from the Quaker Meeting for marrying contrary to
discipline. Usually this meant that the couple got married
outside of the Meeting, by a justice of the Peace for
example. However, Obediah had never been reinstated after
being disowned for owning slaves, so that may have been
why. In 1797 (1797, 10, 14), she was reinstated after
condemning her misconduct.436, p. 295
After Obediah's death Ruth and her children moved to Ohio.
In 1819 (1819, 5, 25) South River meeting granted her a
certificate to the Clear Creek monthly meeting in Clinton
Co, Ohio.436, p.
295 She ended up at the Fairfield Monthly Meeting
instead as of 1819, 10, 30.437, p. 215
