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
