plantation adjoining the old ...... to the west of the tract for her support and my daughter

∼Patience was the daughter of Robert Miller & Ruth Haines. She married first, about 1748, to Charles Bishop, son of Samuel & Alice Bishop; 1 daughter: Ruth. Patience married second, on 5, 30, 1754 in Chester County, PA, to James Davis (1735-1805), son of Abraham Davis (FAG#96620964) & Susanna Bishop (FAG#96620579); 7 children: Jesse, Amos, Job, Rachel, Rebekah, Eve, and Hannah.
Thus, by Patience' two marriages, she was first a sister-in-law and then a daughter-in-law of Susanna (Bishop) Davis. Patience was buried beside her second husband. James & Patience were buried near their home on their own farm. In 1969, several of their descendants feared the gravestone would be lost to the farmer's plow, and they moved it to Marlboro Friends Meeting cemetery.
