 General Notes:
The Pelham settlers actually formed a more connected migration than their Pennsylvania origins suggest. At first glance the Pelham Friends seem removed by more than just a few miles from the Black Creek community, but many ties linked Bucks County and Lancaster County Friends to New Jersey meetings. When James Moore Jr. from Sadsbury Monthly Meeting in Lancaster County was married to Rebecca Birdsall of Hunterdon County, New Jersey in 1782, many of the wedding guests who travelled from Bucks or Lancaster would be neighbours a few years later in Niagara. Among those who signed the marriage certificate were Samuel Birdsall, his wife Elizabeth Canby Birdsall, Benjamin Canby, Ann Birdsall, who married Samuel Taylor, William Pettit and his wife Sarah Birdsall Pettit, Andrew and Ruth Birdsall Moore, Jeremiah and Mary Moore.
William married Sarah Birdsall, daughter of Jacob Birdsall and Sarah Weeks, on 4 Oct 1770 in Bucks, Pensylvania, USA. (Sarah Birdsall was born on 25 Nov 1748 in Amwell, Hunterdon, New Jersey, USA and died on 28 Jul 1804 in Sadsbury Township, Chester, Pennsylvania.)
