1) Charles Canaday in 1740, the son of John & Elizabwth (Douze) Canaday of MD; he died in 1745 during the Indian Wars. They had two sons, John and Charles Jr.
2) Robert Sumner on 26 Sep 1746 in Fairfax Co VA; they had ten children, six sons and four daughters.
At a Monthly Meeting of Quakers held on 29 Sep 1746, Phebe was disowned for marrying Robert, who was not of the faith. However, on 26 Jun 1749, Robert became a Quaker and he and Phebe were received into New Garden MM. In 1751, the family moved to Bladen Co NC and were welcomed as members of Carver's Creek Friends. By Jul 1751 however, they were members of the newly founded Cane Creek Friends in Orange Co NC. Yet again, in 1754, they were members of Tom's Creek Friends in Rowan Co NC.
In 1770, the eastern part of Rowan Co was combined with the western part of Orange Co to create Guilford Co, in NC. This is where both Phebe and Robert passed their days and were buried in Jamestown.
Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, Vol I, Pg 170 and Hinshaw's Encyclopedia of Quaker Genealogy:
"The name was changed to Westfield Meeting House from Tom's Creek Meeting House, when the monthly meeting was established in 1786."
Prior to 1752, Quaker records were read in the 'Old Style', using the Julian calendar; the first month was March and the last month was February. In and after 1752, dates were read in the 'New Style', using the present day Gregorian calendar; the first month is January and the last December.
