The Guthries, my sixth great grandparents, were married in Louisa County in 1755. The Quaker records of the Cedar Creek Meeting House contain these entries:
January 11, 1755: Penelope Johnson disowned for marrying contrary to discipline.
February 8, 1755: Agness Johnson condemned for entertaining her daughter on the day of her marriage, which was contrary to the advice of the Friends.
According to the source, these two entries likely meant that Henry was not a Quaker, and even though Penelope was disowned for marrying him she could have asked for and received reinstatement. This was quite common during this time.
