1752, 3, 7. Cane Creek MM received on certificate from Fairfax MM, Va, dated 1751, 8, 26.

1753, 1, 6. Cane Creek MM reported married to Catharine Cox (cert recorded at New Garden.) Among the witnesses were Thomas Hunt, Zebulon Grant, John Wright, Charles Davis, Henry Mayner, William Piggott, Mary Jackson, Mary Matthews. Hannah Davis, Mary Wright, and Rachel Mayner.

According to Hinshaw's narrative about the New Garden Monthly Meeting, Eleazer and William Hunt were some of the names of the men embraced in the origninal membership of the New Garden MM.

The following account of the early history of New Garden MM is abstracted from "Southern Quakers and Slavery", pages 104-108. Of the settlers who formed the New Garden meetings the first to arrive were doubtless the immigrants from Pennyslvania by way of Maryland. They brought the name with them from Pennsylvania. It has always been a characteristic of Quakers to reproduce the names of the sections with which they have been associated in former years. Many English Quaker names are reproduced in America. There is a new Garden and a Springfield in Pennsylvania. They are carried thence to North Carolina, and from there, in turn, to Indiana. "Immigration of the Irish Quakers into Pennsylvania", says that New Garden Meeing in Pennsylvania was named in remembrance of New Garden Meeting in County Carlow, Ireland.
