Barclays of New York

72 Dublin Branch of
This marriage, too, seems to have been the cause
of religious disownment if not of family feeling. At a
Men's Meeting held in Dublin i ith, 6 mo., 1754, it was
reported that Elizabeth Barclay and Joanna Rooke
(a niece of her mother's 20 ) had lately been married "by
a priest to men of another Society," etc. (Dublin Meet-
ing's Proceedings, vol. 10, 1750-1754, p. 284), and on
the 25th, 6 mo., 1754, "Elizabeth Scriven al. Barclay"
owned to Friends that she had married without her
mother's consent and intended to leave the Society {ibid,
p. 289). On 6th, 8 mo., 1754, a paper "Concerning
Elizabeth Scriven" was considered and directed to be
laid before the Quarterly Meeting {ibid, p. 298), and
on the 20th, 8 mo., 1754, the Quarterly Meeting's recom-
mendation that such paper be publicly read was duly
carried out {ibid, p. 303). The Testimony of Denial
and Disownment is contained in vol. 1 of "Testimonies
of Denials," page 525.
In the will of her aunt, Katherine Forbes, dated
February 15, 1758, 3 "Elizabeth Scriven al. Barclay"
was given but five shillings, while substantial bequests
were made to her brother John and to her sisters, the
stated reason being that she had married without the
consent of the testatrix.
On April 25, 1778, a Commission of Bankruptcy
was issued against Edward Scriven under the Great
Seal of Ireland, and from the papers in the proceedings
had thereon and in an Equity suit growing out of the
same, considerable of the above information has been
derived. 6 Edward Scriven died May 14, 1794, 19 and
by petition of his son, John Barclay Scriven, as adminis-
trator with the will annexed of his estate, sworn to June
28, 1799, it appears that the estate had realized suf-
clay Scriven and Edward Scriven (a minor), to two unmarried daughters, Sarah
Scriven and Elisabeth. Scriven, and to two sons-in-law, William Glasscock and John
Macartney. Executors: Wife and two sons-in-law.
