Problems/Questions Profile manager: Peggy Thurman [send private message]

Elizabeth was a Friend (Quaker)

Caution: Unusual information. Is the following correct?

A spouse's birth date (Renfro-55 born 1676) should not be more than 80 years or less than 10 years before the marriage date (1702).

WE do not understand 1702-1676 means he was like 23 years????

Here is a profile for the Elizabeth Unknown-Hollingsworth-Renfro Elizabeth Renfrow

The original profile had her date of birth as: "Elixabeth was born about 1780." big jump to edit it to "Elizabeth was born in 1691. She died in 1735." and the place of birth was "Chester, Delaware, Pennsylvania"

Biography

She died in 1735.

Elizabeth (Unknown) Hollingsworth, Joseph Hollingsworth’s widow was soon remarried to John Rentfrow, Jr, and that upon her death, Isaac Parkins (or Perkins) became the guardian of the “minor children of Joseph Hollingsworth.

17 Sep 1735: Elizabeth Rentfrow (widow of Joseph Hollingsworth) was complained of for marrying out of unity, and Katharine Ross and Mary Littler were appointed to "labor with her". The first marriage at Hopewell (from the minutes of Hopewell Monthly Meeting).

"Clorman-Hollingsworth Family Tree" by Arthur Hollingsworth: "For same (marrying John Rentfrow), having married outside of Quaker jurisdiction, the committee of Hopewell Meeting was assigned to labor with her. (HR vol 2, p. 99). No record of her after that."”

Research Note

* I propose that Mary Elizabeth and Joseph Hollingsworth be attached as spouses. They both are mentioned in the book by Arthur Hollingsworth entitled ""Clorman - Hollingsworth Family Tree" (Linda Leslie, 19 Mar 2022).

Hollingsworth, Joseph bio] This bio does mention the Elizabeth Joseph married but "but we have no record-Ed.) ELIZABETH ________ (maiden name not known to us). She was probably born c1690; died after 1733 location not known. Before 13 Nov. 1733 Elizabeth had re-married one Mr. Rentfro or Renfro." ^{[citation needed]}

THERE is a profile for Mary Perkins same birthday and place of birth Maryland, NO SOURCES........ so that is where all of the Perkins family of Maryland is going to be moved to.

These are Mary's siblings and herself ALL BORN in MARYLAND not Pennsylvania.

Removed "Chester, Delaware, Pennsylvania" and replaced it with the source.

Research needs to be done to make sure there are not 2 ladies mixed together, Mary is the name that was given to this Richard Perkins daughter.
