Meanwhile, his bride Mary John, daughter of Abel John and Mary Fisher, was approximately 10 years his junior.&nbsp; Mary was a birthright Quaker, as her parents were both Quakers prior to their marriage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">They went through the Friends\u2019 marriage process, which included having Friends appointed to meet with them to make sure that they approved of the marriage.&nbsp; These meetings were not just a formality.&nbsp; The Friends wanted to make sure the couple had a good foundation of friendship and companionship before approving of the marriage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the case of Francis and Mary, they had the additional complication of not being members of the same meeting.&nbsp; Thus, Francis had to request a certificate from the York Monthly Meeting to the Menallen Monthly Meeting in order to marry Mary.&nbsp; After stating their intention (sometimes multiple times) and satisfying the Friends who investigated their marriage, Francis and Mary were allowed to marry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The following year, Francis, Mary, and their first child Eleanor were in Pike Run Township in Washington County, Pennsylvania.&nbsp; While living in that area, the family joined with the Friends at the Westland Monthly Meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In 1807, the family got a certificate to the Middletown Monthly Meeting in Columbiana County, Ohio.&nbsp; By this time, the family had grown to also include Able John, Mary, and Elizabeth.&nbsp; They lived for a time in Springfield Township, which is now part of Mahoning County.&nbsp; Later they moved to Elk Run Township and joined with the Carmel Monthly Meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&nbsp;It was in Columbiana County that the remainder of their children were born.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A Time of Change<\/span><\/h1>\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The 1820s brought a time of change.&nbsp; Francis and Mary\u2019s children were becoming adults, marrying, and making their own decisions about their beliefs.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It wasn\u2019t simply a question of keeping the Quaker faith or leaving it.&nbsp; The Friends were going through a time of change, as well, with the \u201cgreat separation\u201d occurring at the 1827-1828 Philadelphia Yearly Meeting.&nbsp; Even before this date, however, Quakers started separating into two factions: Hicksite and Orthodox.&nbsp; Hicksites \u201cemphasized the role of the Inward Light in guiding individual faith and conscience\u201d while Orthodox \u201cespoused a more Protestant emphasis on Biblical authority and the atonement.\u201d&nbsp;

In 1824, Elizabeth and Mary left the Carmel Monthly Meeting (Columbiana County, Ohio) where the family belonged and changed to the Sandy Springs Monthly Meeting for unknown reasons.&nbsp; Then in 1831 Joseph changed to the Marlborough Monthly Meeting to get married after which his wife was received back into the Carmel Monthly Meeting.&nbsp; In 1835, Joseph and his family got a certificate to the New Garden Monthly Meeting.&nbsp;&nbsp; Joseph would eventually move his family to Marshall County, Indiana.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"bg-font-family-heading\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Marrying Out of Unity<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The first significant change was in 1823 when their oldest daughter Eleanor was disowned for marrying out of unity as she married Martin Kennedy, a non-Quaker. &nbsp;Mary would later be disowned for marrying George Kennedy.&nbsp; Both couples quickly moved across the state line and lived for a time in Pennsylvania. &nbsp;A few years later they settled in Parke County, Indiana.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"bg-font-family-heading\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Joining the Hicksites and Other Societies<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Rachel joined another society (e.g. not Quaker of either type).&nbsp; However, she must have returned as she, like Eleanor and Mary, was later condemned for marrying contrary to discipline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Abel John got a certificate in 1825 to the Short Creek Monthly Meeting to marry Unity (Eunity) Harrison.&nbsp; Three years later Unity transferred to the Carmel Monthly Meeting, but soon Abel would join the Hicksites, leaving them a family split with regards to beliefs.&nbsp; Unity raised the children according to her beliefs obtaining a certificate to the Marlborough Monthly Meeting in 1830 and then returning in 1841. &nbsp;Three years later Unity and the children got a certificate to the Alum Creek MM, which meant that the family was making a major move to central Ohio.&nbsp; After four years in that location Unity got a certificate for her and most of the children to the Goshen Monthly Meeting in Logan County, Ohio, which meant packing up the family for another significant move.&nbsp; Abel and Unity\u2019s oldest son George would follow the next year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Lorenzo\u2019s story was really interesting as he was disowned because he joined the Hicksites.&nbsp; Then is wife, who belonged to the Carmel Monthly Meeting, was disowned for marrying out of unity despite the fact that Lorenzo was still a Quaker, just one with a different perspective and had belonged to the same meeting. They left the area and moved to Richland County, Wisconsin, where they would raise their family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Joseph, Mary, Nancy (Ann), and Elizabeth all joined the Hicksites for periods of time.&nbsp; Elizabeth also joined another society.&nbsp; So, it is clear that the family was testing their own beliefs and moving between organizations with different belief systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"bg-font-family-heading\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In and Out<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">During this time, even Francis had trouble with the meeting.&nbsp; In 1826, no longer belonged to the Carmel Monthly Meeting with the rest of the family as he had said or acted in a way that was contrary to the beliefs of the Quakers and had been disowned.&nbsp; However, three years later, likely after he sufficiently denounced what he had said or done, he was allowed back into the meeting.&nbsp; In 1846, Francis, Mary, and Matilda, who had joined the Hicksites, but apparently returned, got a certificate to the Honey Creek Monthly Meeting in Indiana in Vigo County, Indiana, which was adjacent to Parke County, where they made their new home.&nbsp; Francis made a will and died later that year.&nbsp; It is said that he died in Marshall County where his son Joseph and family lived.&nbsp; It is possible that he traveled to that area or that family records were simply in error.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Spreading Across The Country<\/span><\/h1>\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The family continued to grow and expand, spreading across the country.&nbsp; By the time the third generation of the family was beginning to start their families, there were three main areas of concentration of Francis and Mary\u2019s descendants.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul class=\"\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Lorenzo\u2019s family and others in the family created a major presence in Richland County, Wisconsin.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Parke County, Indiana also had a large number of descendants with other descendants scattered across the state.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">My family line was in Logan County, Ohio as the first of Abel and Unity\u2019s children began to strike out on their own.&nbsp; However, all their living children, but the oldest two would move with them to Bourbon County, Kansas, where they would have a large presence for many years.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">My third great grandparents Abel and Unity (Harrison) Pellett left their oldest son George behind in Logan County, Ohio where he and his family continued their association with the Friends.&nbsp; Their daughter Sarah married and moved with her husband to other locations in Ohio, Indiana, and eventually Illinois.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Meanwhile, Abel, Unity, and the other children settled in Bourbon County, Kansas about 1869.&nbsp; The family expanded a great deal and many are buried in Clarksburg Cemetery near Garland, Kansas.&nbsp; I claim to be related to half the people buried there (maybe a slight exaggeration) since many people related to my maternal family line are buried in the cemetery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\" style=\"padding-top: 0px;
