20 APR 1716 – John Adamson and Ann Skuse Announced Intention of Marriage
The earliest extant documentation from the New World that references John comes from the Newton Monthly Meeting Minutes dated the 9th day [20] of the 2nd month [April], 1716. At a monthly meeting held at Thomas Shackle's house, John and wife-to-be, Ann Skuse, presented their intentions of marriage with each other. Thomas Stokes and Thomas Troth were appointed by the meeting to make enquiries regarding the couple's good standing (Haddonfield Monthly Meeting Minutes: 1710-1731, p. 35).
When appointed to make enquiries regarding a couple, appointees were expected to report their findings at the subsequent monthly meeting. To ensure couples were serious about a marriage commitment, Quaker overseers would request couples make their intentions of marriage known to the monthly meeting twice. At the second meeting, if a couple still expressed a desire for marriage, it was considered an affirmed public statement of their devotion toward each other.
Also, Quaker couples could not marry without the consent of the meeting elders. When the initial marriage announcement was made, elders were assigned to make enquiries regarding what Quakers called, "clearance from others" to first, ensure that the couple was in good standing within the community, and second, that no one within the community had good reason to speak out against the marriage.
25 MAY 1716 – John Adamson and Ann Skuse Confirmed Intention of Marriage
At a monthly meeting held at Newton, the 14th day [25] of the 3rd month [May], 1716, John Adamson and Ann Skuse, the second time, presented their intentions of marriage with each other. When enquiries were made concerning their clearance, nothing stood against them, so the meeting consented to their marriage. Thomas Stokes and Samuel Lippincott were appointed by the meeting to attend their wedding (Haddonfield Monthly Meeting Minutes: 1710-1731, p. 36). Some marriage certificates for the Newton Quakers still exist, but apparently John and Ann's certificate was not preserved as there is no trace of it among the Newton meeting archives. Even though their exact marriage date is unknown, it is known that Quaker marriages generally took place during the meeting for worship and within two months following the announcement of intent. Therefore, it is likely that John and Ann were wed around the 5th month [July], 1716. There is no trace of John or Ann's presence in New Jersey prior to their marriage announcement, 20 April, 1716. They were both the first individuals present in New Jersey to carry the surnames Adamson and Skuse.
A record of John and Ann's confirmed intention of marriage was also recorded in the Haddonfield Monthly Meeting Women's Minutes. Recorded the same day, the 14th day [25] of the 3rd month [May], 1716, John Adamson and Ann Skuse signified their continued intentions of marriage. When enquiries were made concerning their clearance, nothing stood against them, so the meeting consented to their marriage. Mary Haines and Elizabeth Braddock were appointed by the meeting to attend their wedding. Unlike the Men's Minutes, the Women's Minutes spelled Ann's surname Skuce instead of Skuse (Haddonfield Monthly Meeting Women's Minutes: 1705-1769, p. 22).
Death:
1753 – John Adamson's Death
A recorded date for John's death and place of burial has yet to be found, and no extant will or testament exists. Since John conveyed his land to son, Thomas on 12 March, 1753, it is surmised that he may have died shortly afterwards. During this time period, it was customary Quaker practice to bury the deceased without headstones. For the Quaker way of life, fancy headstones were too closely associated with the prideful pomp of the vain, secular world. As meeting houses were erected, burial grounds were laid out beside them. In some Quaker communities, graves included primitive headstones upon which the initials of the deceased were inscribed. Eventually, Quaker headstones with fully inscribed names become the norm.
Quakers affiliated with a particular meeting were buried within the burial grounds of the meeting house. It is possible that John was buried in an unmarked grave within the grounds of the Richland Monthly Meeting house in Quakertown.
