At Our Monthly Meeting held at Gwynedd the 25th 1st mo 1718: 3rd, Application made in behalf of Morris Robert for a Certificate in Order to proceed in Marriage with Elizabeth Robeson on belonging to Abington Monthly Meeting who requesting it might be prepared and signed by the Appointment of this Meeting: Giving his reasons viz that two Monthly Meetings fall out at Abington before our Next, this Meeting after Consideration condescends, and Appoints Evan Evans and Hugh Foulk to make Necessary Inquiry and write one - the Same to be signed by the order of this Meeting by Owen Evans, Cadwalader Evans, Robert Jones, John Humphrey, Abram Dawes and Meredith David and the Friends Appointed to Draw the Same.

Women's minutes (28, 3mo. 1734): "the case of Morris Robert and his wife acquainted frds here of his inclination of removing himself wife and familie to Carolina - this Meeting thinks proper to appoint Ann Robert and Alce Griffith further to consult their case together with the men frds." Considering that the children are found in the Gwynedd area after this date, they may not have made this move.
