Robert Stackhouse's Quaker Heritage

Here's one of Middletown Land owners who may not all be members of Middletown Monthly Meeting Land-owners in Middletown in 1684
Walter Bridgeman, Thomas Constable, Widow Croasdale, Robert Holdgate, Alexander Biles, Widow Bond, Robert Heaton, Thomas Stackhouse, Jr., Thomas Stackhouse, James Dilworth, Widow Hurst, Richard Thatcher, John Scarborow (Scarborough), Nicholas Walne, Jonathan Towne, Joshua Boar, Thomas Marle, William Paxson, James Paxson, Jonathan Fleckne, William Brian, Robert Carter, Francis Dove, Henry Paxson, William Wiggin and Edward Samway. ( the italicized names are not on the MMM cross-referenced list )

This is not to say they aren't Quaker... They could belong to other meetings... I is just wise to note that there are other land holders in Middletown...

Note that the Stackhouses and Heatons both had Loyalist members who married.
Another Loyalist family related by marriage is van Beuren. Some of these unions may have been fostered by the years Loyalist refugges spent confined in New York City when the tide turned against the British and Loyalists from Pennsyvania fled the Countryside now consolidated under the Continental forces (interpretation of MMvB, vol. curator)... see marriage of Petrus Heaton to Mary van Beuren. This took place in occupied NYC before 30,000 refugees were sent by ship to Canada. The young Heaton couple, Petrus and Mary seem to have escaped that ordeal. The family subsequently moved out of the war torn area eventually settling in Ohio and then on to Oklahoma.
