My 8th-great-grandparents Edward Lucas and Bridget Scott married in 1700. They were Quakers, so they first had to declare their intentions. Bridget belonged to the Chesterfield Monthly Meeting in Burlington Co., New Jersey, where Edward declared his intentions on the 4th day of the 5th month 1700 (4 July 1700).

I'm not sure where my last post went! Another great research project and finding these old Quaker records is incredible. What beautiful cursive writing too!
