Margaret was a Friend (Quaker)

The minutes of the Newgarden Quaker meeting for 12 4m (June) 1725 record

Nathaniel Richards has been found guilty of committing ye heinous sin of fornication with Margaret Wyly daughter of Allen Wyly.[1]

Margaret Adams Wiley was in a family history showing her birth in 1705, her parents (Allen Newby Wiley and Sarah (Adams) Wiley) and her final passing on 5 December 1796 in West Bradford, Chester (West Bradford), Pennsylvania, USA.[2]

Margaret Wiley, daughter of Allen and Sarah Wiley ( from Ireland) were in a family history showing that she and Nathaniel Richards (her husband) had three children ( William [married Joanna Jenkins and then Jane Miller], Nathaniel [married unknown] and Isaac [married Mary Gregg]).
