The records of South River Monthly Meeting, which was made up mainly of Friends in Bedford and Campbell counties but included the small number in Halifax, show that the Ehcholses began joining Friends in the 1750s. John, son of William and Sarah, became a member in 1757. William Sr. and Jr. joined in 1758, and Judith, daughter of John and Sarah, in 1759. There's nothing to indicate that other children of John and Sarah became Friends, or that the family had earlier Quaker connections. Nor is it clear how Sarah became a Friend, but her death is recorded in the monthly meeting records. I am descended from William Echols, Jr., through his daughter Judith Evans.
