Dorcas Few Wollerton, a Quaker, Marries Outside the Church

Over the period of about a year, Dorcas Few "Willinton" is discussed in the Quaker Monthly Meetings. It seems she did not follow the proper guidelines for marrying and she married a man that is not of the Quaker faith. Dorcas finally presents "a few lines to condemn her out goings in Marriage" which was "laid before the Men and accepted."
