Seventeenth Century Isle of Wight County Virginia, John Bennett Boddie, Chicago, Chicago Law Printing Company, p 123
The testimony of the Friends in Philadelphia...on the fifth day of the eighth month, O.S. 1742, when being at the home of one of his most intimate friends on the third day of the week in the morning waiting for the hour of Meeting, he was seized with a fit of apoplexy which very soon deprived him of speech, and he died about midnight following, in the 49th year of his age being a minister about 24 years. His burial was attended by a great number of his fellow citizens, to one Meeting House on High Street, and thence to the graveyard."
