May 12, 1743, Daniel Brown and Elizabeth, his wife, and Mary Manlove, spinster, daughters and heirs of Luke Manlove, deceased, to Charles Dickinson, land bequeathed by John Walker to his daughter, Mary Walker, who married the said Luke Manlove. Note—Mary Paynter, who married John Walker, was no doubt the daughter of Richard and Sarah Paynter. It was the custom with friends for the parents of the bride and groom to sign the certificate first, as the principal witnesses. Then other relatives followed in the order of their kinship, then the guests who were not related. This, I believe is still the Quaker practke— J. B. T.
