Edward Flounders

Notes:

12, 26, 1760 Whereas EDWARD FLOUNDERS of this city, Butcher, who lately arrived from Great Britan, hath sometimes frequented our Religious Society for Worship, and in other respects made an appearance of professing with us, the people called Quakers, though not joined in Religious Fellowship with us, by certificate from the place of his former residence, hath been charged with being guilty of adultery which he did not clear himself of, therefore we deem it necessary for the clearing truth of our Christian Profession from the reproach occasioned by such evil conduct, publicly do testify against the same and to declare that he is not a member of our Religious Society.
