The following is from MARYLAND HERITAGE, A Family History, by Katharine Beall Adams:
"That John and Elizabeth Belt were devout Quakers in the South River community is amply proved by the use of their home for Friends' meetings. It seems likely that his religious belief prevented John Belt from taking active part in the civil or military affairs of the county for there is no record that he held any public office".
FROM MARILYN ROTH: See J. Reaney Kelly's, " QUAKER IN THE FOUNDING OF ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, published in 1963 page 86, " A religious census was made in 1698 when six Quaker meeting places existed. Weekly and Monthly Meetings were held in the house of John Belt near thePatuxent River, north of present State Route 214 on propey now called VELMEAD".. " That would have been west of Severn Ridge in South River Hundred , per the map of the travels of GEORGE FOX. Since John Belt was a Quaker, at least in his final years ,it would explain why several younger children of John Belt were baptized at All Hallows after their widowed mother remarried at All Hallows".
FROM MARILYN ROTH : Here is proof of the remarriage of John Belts wife, ELIZABETH. See "Anne Arundel County MD Church records, All Hallows Parish, by F. Edward Wright:
""JOHN LAMB, merchant , and Elizabeth Belt , widow of John, m. 25 July 1701. Baptized 14 Dec 1703: MargaretLlamb, daughter of John Lamb and Eizabeth; & Elizabeth, Charity, Sarah, & Jeremy Belt, of John Belt and Elizabeth."
