Book Title: Genealogy Of The Dunwoody And Hood Families And Collateral Branches, 
By Gilbert Cope, 1899

At the requests of Nicholas Newland we do hereby certify that the said 
Nicholas Newland acquainted our men's meeting with his intention of removing 
himself and Family out of this Nation, into New Jersey or Pennsylvania, in 
America; and we have nothing to charge against him or his family, as to their 
conversation in the world since they frequented our meetings; but they have 
walked honestly among men for aught we know or can hear of by inquiry which 
hath been made; but our Friends' meeting is generally dissatisfied with his so 
removing, he being well settled with his family, and having sufficient 
substance for food and raiment; which all that profess Godliness in Christ 
Jesus ought to be contented with; for we brought nothing into this world, and 
we are certain to take nothing out; and he has given us no satisfactory reason 
for his removing; but our Godly jealousy is that his chief ground is 
fearfulness of suffering here for the testimony of Jesus, or courting worldly 
liberty; all which we certify from our men's meeting at Mount Mellick, 25th of 
12th mo. 1682.
  And we further certify that enquiry hath been made concerning the clearness 
of Nathaniel and John Newland, sons of said Nicholas Newland, from all 
entanglements of marriage, and that they are released for aught we find.
  Signed by advice and on behalf of the meeting:
                                                  Tobias Pleadwell,
                                                  William Edmundson,
                                                  Christopher Raper,
                                                  and others.


Note by the transcriber: -The original of the foregoing is in the hand writing 
of William Edmundson, as appears by his signature thereto.  It is now in 
possession of Mary Mifflin, of Harford County, Maryland, who is in her 79th 
year, and is great-grand-Daughter of Nicholas Newland by her own account.
  The name of Newland has either been misspelled by Wm. Edmundson, or changed 
in America-being now spelled Newlin.
  12th mo. 1820
