NOTES: Finley and Rebecca were cousins, both descended from McGrew
line. Finley grew up with seven siblings and dozens of cousins within
the close community of the Smithfield Monthly Meeting in Ohio; Rebecca
had eight siblings and the same horde of cousins. Their marriage was condemned
as "contrary to discipline" on 2/22/1841, but in 1843 and 1844 they were
received by the meeting again. In 1862, Finley, Rebecca and their
three children (Eliza Jane, the youngest, was 16) were disowned by the
meeting for joining the Wilburites.
The 1880 census indicates that Rebecca had been
born in Ohio.
