Sarah Haines, daughter of Quakers Abigail (née Kemble) and Ezekiel Haines, and twin of Carlile Haines, was born on 14 March 1754 in Evesham Township, Burlington County, Province of New Jersey. The Haines family had settled in Burlington County in 1682.[1]
Sarah Haines and Isaac Painter were married probably in 1771, probably in Burlington County. She was then about age 17; he was about 20. Although he, too, had been born into a Quaker family, he had been disowned in 1770 by the Hopewell Monthly Meeting (MM) in Frederick County, Colony of Virginia.
There is no extant civil or Quaker record of the marriage itself, but Sarah Haines submitted a letter, dated 1 January 1772, to the Evesham MM acknowledging her own misconduct, and "Condemning her Breach of good order in marriage and unchast Conduct before with him that is Since her husband."[2] This letter was being considered by the Evesham MM in February and March 1772.[3] Quaker disciplinary processes often took months or years to resolve, thus allowing members to either prove innocence or demonstrate sincere repentance. Women Friends of the Evesham MM on 10 September 1772 decided to accept her acknowledgement.[4]
Sarah's move from New Jersey to Virginia in 1772-73 was not instigated by the Evesham MM's handling of her misconduct. As early as 1770, Ezekiel Haines had requested a certificate to transfer his family to the Hopewell MM. The cause for delay is not known, but in August 1772, Evesham MM approved this certificate for "Ezekiel Haines and Abigail wife and five Children to witt Carlile, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob & Samuel."[5] The Haines family were received into membership by the Hopewell MM on 1 February 1773.[6] This certificate action seems to have overlooked both Sarah's marital status, and that Sarah had a child, Beulah, born in June 1772. It is possible that—as was fairly common at that time—Sarah and Isaac Painter had not yet gone into housekeeping, thus establishing their own household.
Sarah and Isaac Painter were likely living on or near his late father's plantation in the vicinity of Nineveh, Frederick County. The local Crooked Run Meeting advised its superior Hopewell MM that: "Sarah Painter formerly Hains hath gone out in Marriage with a man not of Our Society." According to Hopewell's records of 3 May 1773, women Friends met with Sarah and her mother Abigail Haines, and reported back.[7] The Hopewell MM determined on 20 October 1775 that, "Sarah Painter formerly Hains […] continues in a disposition of Mind unfit to Condemn her Misconduct," and therefore disowned her.[8]
The Hopewell MM in 1781 considered the sincerity of Isaac Painter's request "in being Joined to Friends."[9] It was not until 1785 that the Hopewell MM, being satisfied with a letter from Isaac Painter and Sarah his wife "condemning their [own] past misconduct," recommended them to Crooked Run.[10] The Crooked Run MM (which was raised to a separate monthly meeting in 1781) recorded in 1786: "The [women] friends that was appointed to visit Isaac Painter's [six] Children namely Bulah, Rachel, Rebeckah, Isaac, Abraham & Mahlon report that it is comply'd with & that they thought it is best for them to be reciev'd as members therefore this meeting unites with men friends in receiving them."[11]
The Crooked Run MM recorded the birthdates of Sarah and Isaac Painter, and their nine children:
• Beulah, b. 16 Jun 1772
• Rachel, b. 11 Nov 1774
• Rebeckah, b. 23 Jun 1777
• Isaac, b. 14 Mar 1779
• Abraham, b. 1 Apr 1781
• Mahlon, b. 18 Jan 1783
• Hannah, b. 30 Nov 1787
• Abigail, b. 22 Jul 1789
• John, b. 24 Jan 1793 [12]
The first child, Beulah, was likely born in Burlington County, New Jersey; the next eight in Frederick County, Virginia. All lived to maturity and married, except for Rebeckah, who likely died in her youth.[13]
Sarah Painter survived her husband, who died in 1805, and she was enumerated in the 1810 U.S. Census in Frederick County. (Her brothers-in-law John Painter and Robert Painter are on the same page). It is reported that she died in 1827-29.[14]
Notes
The Mary Antrim Roberts Autobiography indicates that her mother, the former Hannah Painter, had first married Abram Haines (with whom she had a son, also named Abram), and was widowed when she married Godfrey Antrim about 1776. The elder Abram Haines may be Abraham Haines, Sarah Haines's brother, but there are no marriage or probate records. The younger Abram Haines's daughter, in the 1880 U.S. Census, reported that her father was born in New Jersey. (Autobiography (undated; late 1800s) in: Clyde V.

Sarah's twin, Carlile, was disowned in 1777 for bearing arms. Their father was disowned in 1780 for "taking the test"—swearing an oath of allegiance to the colonies.
Crooked Run lost its status as a monthly meeting in 1807, and was joined as a preparative meeting with the Hopewell MM. It was "laid down"—closed—in 1810.
