Notes
1981 book:
	Benjamin and Mary were Friends ministers. Mary travelled to England, 
Europe, and Ireland to attend Yearly Meetings. She left on Oct. 17, 1797, and 
returned on Dec. 16, 1801. Her correspondence with Benjamin is preserved in the 
Friends Collections at the Haverford College Library.  On occasion, she stayed with 
the families of Jacob Maule (1E8) and Benjamin Maule (1E9).  Few persons united 
more in their character than did Mary, considered a venerable and excellent woman: 
ladylike in her deportment, gentle, and endearing in her manners, yet always 
displaying a consistency with her religious profession in which she was an acceptable 
minister.  She died lamented by a numerous company of Friends, who held her many 
virtues in lasting remembrance.
	Benjamin owned much land in central Pennsylvania, near Luken Valley and 
Tuscarora.  Benjamin died "without struggle, sigh, or groan".
