Notes for Isaiah Willets
Susannah's birthdate is given in Quaker Meeting Records and their marriage date is given in Eshelman. Isaiah Willits was disowned on July 29, 1756, for marrying contrary to discipline (outside the Quaker faith), and Susannah was disowned July 28, 1757. Isaiah never rejoined the Quaker faith. Isaiah purchased land in Berks County, but in 1765 began selling his lands and when the Revolution began, he and brother Isaac Willits moved to the western lands after a brief sojourn in Maryland. Evidently they moved to Kentucky during the Revolution because they did not believe in war. "They were poor, as most people were in those days, but got along without, going from place to place, harassed by Indians, British, Whigs, but were peaceable, good men, and would have died before they would have gone to murdering their fellow man" (Bartlett). Isaiah evidently returned to Pennsylvania as he died there September 13, 1793.
