• Notes

  "1699 Mrs Thomas Vernon began repeating gossip about her kin, Thomas Minshall and his wife. She accused Mrs Minshall of giving birth to a child on board the ship that brought them to Pennsylvania in 1691, murdering the child, and throwing it overboard. To all who would listen, Elizabeth Vernon declared, 'She is nought but a common whore.' On the 29th of the third month, Thomas Minshall complained to the monthly meeting against Elizabeth Vernon. After investigating the affair the meeting concluded, 'The meeting is fully satisfied that Elizabeth Vernon is so far discomposed in her mind, that no credit or heed to be given to what she said. it is to the satisfaction of this committee after hearing all reports from the shipmates of the said Minshall and wife, this meeting adviseth that all do certify under their hands to the contrary of the said report about the child being false, and that a copy of said certification be posted at Chester.
