Research Notes

This may be a conflation of two people. There seems to have been another contemporary Quaker, Prince and Deborah Wing family. A Prince and Deborah Wing were received at the Quaker Street Monthly Meeting in 1809 along with children Elizabeth, Hannah, Daniel, and Deborah.^[12] A Prince and Deborah Wing were granted a certificate to the Galway Monthly Meeting from the Butternuts Monthly Meeting in 1816.^[13]
