  • Notes 
    • At least four Quaker list 05 May 1790 as the marriage date of Mary Baylay. She married Abram Fowler a non-Quaker, and has a result was dismissed from the Friends of Fall, Bucks County, Pa. She was dismissed on 09 Jun 1790. The language of her 05 May 1790 entry is as follows: “hath gone out in her Marriage with a man not in Membership. All which have been spoke with and they have concluded to precede with Testimonies against the listed Marriage.

      Well, It appears that Mary was born 24 May 1760 in Lower Makefield.  She married William Johnson (1755 - ) on 20 Sep 1775 in Falls Meeting House.  He died sometime 1775-1790 as Mary married Abram Fowzer on 05 May 1790.  She was dismissed from Falls Friends on 09 Jun 1790.  And one researcher has her death as 09 Jan 1791; and I tend to believe that researcher.

      I know of no children between William Johnson and Mary Bayley.  Sources agree that Abram Fowzer and Mary Bayley had one child, Edward Fowzer, born 1790.  But that could just have easily been 09 Jan 1791; and assume it true.  Then Edward Fowzer would have been a gleam in Abram and Mary’s eyes in March of 1790.  So she discovers she is pregnant, tells Abram, he says let’s get married, the neighborhood and the Friends find out.  End of story.  If all this is a legitimate story then Mary could have died in childbirth.
