Biography
Dinah was a Friend (Quaker)
Dinah was the daughter of James Lancaster and his wife Margaret. She was born on 28 January 1656/7, 1657 in modern reckoning[1][2][3]
She worked at Swarthmoor Hall for Margaret Fell, and there are various entries of wages paid to her or of articles provided in lieu of payments in cash. For instance:
- "Nine shillings and sixpence in settlement of her wages to 10 Feb. 1673/4 was paid to her on 11 Oct. 1674. "In 1678 at Marsh Grange she married John Nicholson, of Cartgate within Pardshaw M. M., Cumberland. Several children predeceased her. From others there was a numerous progeny."[4]
On 17 July (5th month) 1678 she married John Nicholson of Cartgate, Hensingham, Cumberland at Pardshaw, Cumberland. The marriage took place in the house of Thomas Lower of Marsh Grange.[5][6]
She was buried in May (3rd month) 1718 at Pardshaw, Cumberland.[7][8]
Research Notes
Dinah has previously been shown as daughter of Sarah Jane Dan. Her birth record names her mother as "Margarett".[9]
