Read More	Elizabeth Kellock, the "Quaker" is a member of the Quaker Meeting house near the Nottingham, Chester County, Pennsylvania. Shortly after John David YORK I became a teenager growing up uniquely from his fathers first marriage in England. His father Jeremiah YORK I, age 37, married a second time in 1721 to Sarah Ann Wilson, age 25. It is most likely that John David YORK I, about age 18 met and fell in love with a unique young woman named Elizabeth Kellock, the "Quaker". They were married in 1726; however they found themselves in a hurtful investigation by their peers. A compliant had been recorded on 11 June 1726 in the Society of Friends, Kennett Monthly Meeting Minutes, Nottingham, Chester County, Pennsylvania. Elizabeth was accused of marrying a man named "YORK" who was not of the Quaker faith. This lead to their being dismissed from the fellowship of the New Garden Monthly Meeting. Never the less, Elizabeth retained her strong convictions of the Quaker faith. Her gentle and humble personality continued throughout their marriage. She influenced her family for several generations of descendants who embraced the Quaker faith with membership in various Quaker congregations in western North Carolina for over a century. All the other Jeremiah York branches of half siblings were of a different faith. All the descendants of John David YORK I and his wife Elizabeth migrated away from Randolph County living segregated from their estranged kinship with the other branches of the Jeremiah York family living in Randolph County. This suggests John David YORK I, age 18, who married Elizabeth Kellock, age 18, was now an outcast rejected Quaker in needed of a safe home to live in. His father Jeremiah YORK I living in West Nottingham, Chester County, Pennsylvania with his new wife Sarah Ann Wilson, became their new home with a new stepmother, as part of the Jeremiah York I family. It is further suggested John David YORK I was not listed in the West Nottingham Tax list; not yet old enough to buy land. John David YORK I and Elizabeth Kellock were parents of only one child John David "Davie" YORK II born about 1727 in West Nottingham, Chester County, Pennsylvania. Elizabeth Kellock YORK continued her devotions to the Quaker faith by teaching and influencing her son John David YORK II. It is suggested this devoted couple lived separate from the rest of the Jeremiah YORK I family on Terrapin Neck, because of their Quaker faith in old Fredrick County Virginia. It is believed Elizabeth died about 1765 soon after arriving in Colonial North Carolina.
