| Notes |
- Elijah was disowned in 1793 for marrying out of unity.
Falls MM records: 4/9/1793 - Makefield reports that Elijah Leedom hath been guilty of fornication and hath gone out in marriage with a woman not of our Society.
He must have tended an acknowledgement at some point because he was disowned again in 1829.
Falls MM records 8 Jan 1829
Benjamin Featherby who had a right of membership with us the Religious Society of Friends, Has transgressed the discipline & order therof by uniting with others in a separation from our long established yearly Meeting & in attending meeting held out of subordination thereto, contrary to discipline, for which transgression he has been treated with, & it not having the desired effect. We do hereby disown him from being any longer a member of our religious Society until he shall acknowledge his Error & condemn the same to the satisfaction of this meeting, which is our desire for him.
The forgoing is also our testimony against Benjamin P. Tomlinson, Elijah Leedom, Amos Satterthwaite & Jacob Janney, Which was read, approved, Signed in & on behalf of Falls Monthly Meeting of Friends held the 8th of the 1st Mo, 1829.
From the date of the above entry it seems apparent that Elijah Leedom was one of the many members disowned by their meeting during the 'Hicksite Schism'. This may in fact even have been the impetus that sent him from his Bucks County home to Ohio.
A Bucks QM records members list dated 1827-1829 show Elijah and Lucy Leedom, bracketed, with an Elizabeth who appears to be a daughter. The group is listed and formatted the same way as other family groups on the page, parents bracketed with children below them. I've not seen any other mention of a daughter Elizabeth.
Death date from Rosie Byard who also gives Elijah's birth date as abt 4 Jan 1764 (although that was the year before his parents were married.) Spring Grove Cemetery entry at Find A Grave notes inscription as "A Native of Penn -- Aged 76y, 11m, 22d" along with birth and death dates matching those from Rosie.
