I'm sending my Fayle query through again with added dates. Janet This is a long-standing, probably hopeless ancestress mystery on my father's side. I want to fill in all the blanks (including parents, grandparents, etc.) for her. What I know about her so far: 1. As Elizabeth Fayle, she transferred in 1761 from Edenderry Monthly Meeting, near Dublin, Ireland, to Exeter Monthly Meeting, PA. (I have her transfer letter, signed by a number of members, including several with surname Fayle). 2. She met and married TOWNSEND MATTHEWS, SR. in Exeter, PA, in 1761. He was temporarily ex-communicated from Quaker Church for bearing arms in French and Indian War, so on Feb/ 26. 1761 she was precautioned by Exeter MM not to marry a non-Quaker I have that transcript from the minutes, as well as the one dated March 26, 1761, in which ELIZABETH FAYLE NOW ("ALIAS") MATTHEWS was dropped from Exeter MM's membership. 3. Hinshaw in Virginia notes them both as being fully restored to their former Quakerism and notes scattered throughout show that they evidently continued as practicing Quakers the rest of their lives. What we know about her husband, whose family was able to take his line clear back to England and, happily for me, made it available at FamilySearch: 1. Townsend Matthews, Sr. - born 1737 Berks, PA to Robert Matthews and Mary Coles 2. Married Elizabeth Fayle - Exeter, PA - 1760 (Exeter MM notes seem to indicate 1761; so far can't find the marriage record) 3. Before he died in 1808 in Greenbriar, West VA (where are they buried ????) they had the following children: (1) Emele (Amelia?) Matthews - b. ca 1762, Berks, PA -d. Rockingham, VA 1790 - Married Ebenezer Henton [this is my line, faily well documented from this point on] (2) Ezekial Matthews - b. ca 1765, Berks, PA - marr. Jane McSparvin (3) Mary Matthews - b. ca 1768, Berks, PA (4) Robert Matthews - b. ca 1771, probably Berks, PA - marr. Nancy (Mathews) Green - ????? (5) Joseph Matthews - b. ca 1773, Berks, PA (6) Townsend M. Matthews - b. ca 1774, Berks, PA - marr. 6 Nov 1843, Raccoon Tp, Gallia Co,, OH - Nancy Williams (7) John Matthews - b. ca 1775, Berks, PA (8) Elizabeth Matthews - b. ca 1777, Berks, PA I hope I copied all this data correctly from the FamilySearch site. Elizabeth Fayle - born where? when? parents? why did she come to America? when and where did she die? where is she buried? Janet
