575For ten years they kept within the straight and narrow path laid down by the Friends,but in 1740 John Webb was again called to account:
" At this Meeting John Webb brought a paper of Condemnaion for his outgoing which was received and ordered to be read at Oley first Days Meeting; The further Publishing thereof is referred to Friends
Philadelphia. It is as follows viz.( His Acknowledgment).
This is to give notice to all Persons whom it may concern that I John Webb being at the Eleechon at Philadelphia in the year 1740,in a very Public Place and after a very Public manner,being taken and apprehended with a grindstone in my Hands as though I had a mind to take it away and when the man spoke to me saying "Where art thou going with that stone? I made answer unwittingly and after a suspicious manner to my own shame I do confess,which was after this manner. "What if I have bought it? These words beings spoken by me, and have proceeded from the same wicked Spirit which leads People into such Vile Words and Actions to the great Scandal of our Holy Profession; all which Words and actions of Mine as asforesaid with all the other unsavory Conduct of mine at that time I condemn the whole,and the Spirit that led me thereunto,with desire in my Heart,that for the future I may be more careful so as not to transgress the Law of God written in the Heart."

35,575In 1720,George Boone was called to account for allowing the courtship between his daughter Mary and John Webb.Just how this was contrary to the rules and regulation of the society we are not told,but George Boone acknowledged his fault in meeting.
"5-26-1720 George Bonne has openly acknowledged in the meeting his forwardness in giving his consent to John Webb to keep company with his daughter in order to marry,contrary to ye established order amongst us...." The Boone Family" published 1922 Ella Hazel Spraker
The abstract of their marriage record reads..
7-13,1720 John Webb of Phila. Co. and Mary Boone daughter of George Boone of the same Co;at a public meeting ,Witnesses George,Squire and Benjamin Boone,Thomas Evans;Edward Morgan;
Daniel Meredith and 18 others..
In someway their courtship did not comply with the regulations of the Society of Friends,for on July 26.1720,in the Gwynedd Meeting ,Her father acknowledged his fault in allowing John Webb to keep company with his daughter Mary Boone..
After the their marriage John and Mary Webb proably settled in Exeter township,as their affairs continue to be recorded in Gwynedd and Exeter Meetings.It is said that they resided on the farm occupied in 1860 by Isaac Herbine,then also paternal eststes.
In 1730,John and Mary Webb must have again offended the meeting,for we find:
7-29-1730,John Webb and wife Mary produced acknowledgment of misconduct which was accepted."
