m:"Dec 23, 1785. Benjamin Watkins and Anna Riddle." per Virginia County Records
by William A Crozier. p 160. Goochland County Marriage Bonds.
m: disowned by the Cedar Creek Meeting because married out of unity.
To the Quakers, correct conduct according to their faith was a serious matter to be
taken into their daily lives. Church rules and discipline were strictly maintained. A
marriage involved the church. The parties had to first declare their intentions at a
monthly meeting. A committee was appointed to investigate the clearness of the
parties and report at the next monthly meeting. If a Quaker married a non-member, he
was said to have married out of unity, for which he or she was disowned. Complaint
was made against members for unseemly conduct, dressing too gaily, swearing, lying,
frivolous talk, military service, gambling, drinking, not paying debts, holding slaves,
absence from church, fighting and for more serious offenses. For any of these, he
might be disowned. A member was not allowed to go to Law without the consent of the
meeting. The church appointed a committee to visit the erring member to help him see
the error of his way. A disowned member ceased to exist as far as the church was
concerned. Often parents did not allow a disowned heir to inherit. per Hutchins Family
by Hutchins.
