Biography

John was a Friend (Quaker)

John Painter, junior, eldest son of Hannah (née Braddock) and John Painter, senior, was born 5 May 1736, in the Province of New Jersey^[1] (NOTE: Before 1 Jan 1752, the first month of the year began on 25 March; therefore the 3rd month in 1736 was May).^[2] John Painter and Susannah Stratton declared their intentions of marriage to the Haddonfield Monthly Meeting on 10 Sep 1759. They made their second declaration on 8 Oct 1759, at which time they were given liberty to proceed.^[3] They were married in November 1759 in New Jersey's Haddonfield Monthly Meeting. The couple afterwards moved to Frederick County, Colony of Virginia.
