Howard,enjoy reading fuller detail of George and Alice trouble with the law. "Northampton County VA-Orders,Deeds, & Will1651-1654- Book IV transcribed by Frank V. Walczk records all that you wrote about. George and Alice while married in the Quaker fashion-neverfore were not about to by married by a Church of England clericas the law requirred. Again Alice Quakerism whom the "upper" class had trouble with brought Alice to Court.The Quakerswould not bow or curtsy to a "better" person when they met them. Non-quakers would. Also remember that George along with other Nothampton county Quakers will be part of the 1st religious persecution trail in America. I alway believe that George's life would make a great movie.
