John Allen of the Cane Creek Friends Meeting sent the following to the Quaker .io group:
In Cane Creek Monthly Meeting minutes we find these entries.
1779, 1, 2 John Jones reported married out of unity1779, 2, 6 john Jones got certificate to Wrightsborough Monthly Meeting Ga.
Hope this information proves helpful to you.
peace,
John Allen (Cane Creek Friends Meeting).
My Comment: I think that the Jones family likely moved to Wrightsboro earlier than 1779. But asked for a certificate at the later date as seen above. Probably when John wrote asking for a certificate he acknowledged his fault and showed sincere repentance for marrying out of unity in a letter of apology. It seems to me that often young couples are accepted back into the meeting when they do just that and there does not seem to be a note of dismissal.
