Elizabeth Webb was born circa 1718 in Burlington, New Jersey. [1]
Marriage
Elizabeth married Clement Shinn circa 1740. Elizabeth was not a Quaker and hence Clement was marrying outside of his faith. This would have been a big problem. Clement acknowledged to the "meeting" that she was not a Quaker in 1741. Records of the children trace to Harrison County Virginia, now West Virginia.
Clement Shinn (s/o James, s/o John)
This son of James and Abigail Lippincott Shinn first appears as a witness upon several marriage certificates. He married Elizabeth Webb, a woman not of Quaker faith, in 1740, as is shown by the secular register. Burlington Monthly Meeting records disclose the interesting fact that he made acknowledgements to the society at that place on November 3, 1741. Little is known of his life. From family records of his children in Harrison County, Virginia (now West Virginia), from other records of his descendants in Philadelphia and Ohio, and from Friends's records of Burlington, Mt. Holly, Chesterfield, and Evesham, N.J., we are enable to present his children and their marriages.
