[Here there is a gap in the minutes. There are no entries
for October, November of December 1764, but there are minutes for those dates
for the Women’s Meeting which suggests to me that the minutes of these three
months were intentionally omitted when the minutes were transcribed. This was
during a very confrontational time in Cane Creek Meeting and the person transcribing
the minutes may not have wanted to preserve these records. Or perhaps he felt that simply deleting these
minutes was in keeping with the Yearly Meeting’s decision to overrule what the
Quarterly Meeting had done. The gap in the minutes is occupied by the following
report from the Quarterly Meeting about the decision of the Yearly Meeting.]
A copy of a minut from the Quarterly Meeting
From our Quarterly Meeting held at Cane Creek the 10th
day of 11th mo 1764.
Dear Friends,
This may aquaint you that the matter formerly debated between
Joseph Maddock and others mentioned in this meetings minutes. And this meeting
having been referred to the yearly meeting, the same of which in Substance is
as followes, That the Quarterly did not act safe in the granting Rachel Wright
a Certificate. If the same were carried into Presedent, and that all who signed
a dissenting minut – shewing a dislike to Hermon Husband being disowned gave
Just cause of blame. Yet nevertheless it is their [opinion] that the minut of
this meeting, Rendering said friends Incapable of being active members in
discipline ought to be Reversed, which this meeting Complys with. And desires
you to proceed in reversing such minut or minutes in your meeting as hath been
heretofore made to restrict such friends, and that agreeable to the advice of
the yearly meeting, We may each of us,
labour for a meek and forgiving spirit so that what has happened may be done
away.
