Notes

  • Immigration*: between 1698 and 1700; Philadelphia, Philadelphia Co., Pennsylvania
  • Note*: "Grace Harker was born in England, about the year 1669. She was married to Adam Harker, of Middletown, Bucks county, of which meeting they were both for a long time useful members. Grace received, whilst young, a gift in the ministry, in which she laboured to the close of her life, and Adam was appointed an elder, in which station he was faithful and in good unity with his friends....She died Twelfth mo. 10th, 1747, aged 78 years. Adam Harker, a few years after the decease of his wife, removed to Philadelphia...no account of his death has been preserved."2
  • Note: This compiler could not find a record of the death of Grace Harker in 'FHL Microfilm 20,403. Society of Friends, Middletown Monthly Meeting, Bucks Co. Pa.'.
    Also the 'Quarterly record of births & deaths' states "There is no record from 1711 to 1760" (FHL Microfilm 388,585. Society of Friends, Middletown Monthly Meeting, Bucks Co. Pa. Historical Society of Penn.).
    The Philadelphia Monthly Mtg. records contain the death of a Grace Harker 3-24-1753 (Hinshaw, II:371); presumably this is a different person.
