Mary (1Thomas) John of Chester Co PA
Mary John was born 12/15/1706 in Wales. Mary and her family's circumstances are not known. As most of the family's records are found in Quaker records, reasonable conjecture leads to the belief that they were part of the migration stream of Welsh Quakers to Pennsylvania. And in about 1709, the John Family migrated to the Colony of Pennsylvania, a haven for Quakers.
On 3/25/1724 at Goshen MM in Chester Co PA, John Elleman b. 6/5/1696 Oxfordshire, England, posted bands to wed Mary. And, the marriage was performed on 3/25/1725.
The next record for the family is found in 1745 in Berne Twp, Lancaster (now Berks) Co PA where John Elleman was granted two acres to establish a Quaker Meeting House. John may have not moved his family until 1746 after the marriage of daughter Dorcas. Later John and family are cited attending Exeter MM in Exter Twp. And, this was the Meeting House where Daniel Boone and Abraham Lincoln's grandfather attended.
The family's migration from Pennsylvania to Orange Co NC can be traced through records of Moses Embree who married daughter Margaret. In 1752 Moses and Margaret were married at Exeter MM in Berks Co PA. On 7/26/1753 they were released by certificate to Cane Creek MM near Snow Camp, Orange (now Alamance) Co NC where they were received in 1754. Family migration was the rule as opposed to the exception. It is reasonable to believe that the Elleman Family migrated either in the company of or directly following Moses Embree to Orange Co NC. And, John and Mary were received at Cane Creek MM which is near Snow Camp, Orange (now Alamance) Co NC.
The family next migrated by 6/3/1769 to Bush River, Newberry Co SC where they were received at Bush River MM. John and Mary lived the remainder of their lives in Newberry Co SC where Mary died on 4/29/1787. And, Mary is buried in the Quaker cemetery.
