Notes

Note: Duck Creek is probably in New Castle County.

George and Elizabeth Lindley, were step-siblings. (George's father married Elizabeth's mother after the death of their respective spouses). They had lived in the same household as step-siblings for 11 years by then. Significantly, they were married in “St. George’s Parish, Harford County MD” (not in a Quaker meeting). The East Nottingham (PA) MM through its Deer Creek (MD) division reported in its minutes on 16th day 9th month 1742 on page 170 as follows:

“George Jones and Elizabeth, his wife, having been married by a priest, though they were defended by Believing Parents--gave paper of Condemnation'"

Two years after his marriage, in 1742, George requested a Certificate of Removal to travel to Great Britain, where, it was suggested “… he went back to try to claim the family fortune which tradition has it was left in the old country (Ireland)".
