Anna Reeder married her first cousin, William Vickers. Anna was originally from Pennsylvania and was raised as a Quaker. Her parents, William Reeder and Mary Gourley, were also first cousins, and like Anna and William, were disowned by the Quaker Meeting for 'marriage contrary to discipline.'
A suggested edit included the following information:
Suggested edit: Correction to bio: Anna was originally from "Virginia," not Pennsylvania. Sources are Loudoun County, VA, land and tax records that show her parents there when their children were born. Both William Reeder Jr and Mary Gourley, his wife, were born in Bucks County, PA. William Jr. moved to VA with his parents William Reeder Sr. and Ann Burgess in 1771. In 1772, he returned to marry Mary Gourley and bring her to Virginia, and the Bucks Monthly Meeting Quakers disowned them because their mothers were sisters. It was after William Jr. and Mary's children were born that the more liberal Quakers at Goose River Monthly Meeting, VA, accepted them back into membership after verifying records with Bucks County Monthly Meeting, Bucks, PA.
