William Hopkins & Martha Unknown were at sometime members of the Religious Society of Friends [Quakers]. This is the case as the birth of their children [at least beginning with the birth of their son William in 1754] is recorded by the RSoF as 'Parents Not in Unity". The earliest birth I can locate is 1754.
I am looking for Martha's maiden name. It seems they married sometime before 1754 but it may be that they weren't in unity because they had relations before their marriage or they married against their parents wishes or that the society believed their marriage was not sanctioned
The only facts I know are:
* the first child I can locate is William b 25 May 1754
* William's birth record is noted as Parents Not in Unity
* The next child born to the couple, Zachariah born in 1757's record shows the parents were still Not in Unity so it seems they may have been a longer term issue as the parents identified with the Society but their membership was not accepted by the Society because they had not complied with some rule/s.
I am hoping to find Martha's maiden name please
and the couples date of marriage [edit] 
Perhaps the couple married in the Established Church and this may be the reason they are not in unity.Westy
