Break-offs from Keithian Meeting

William Walton was the preacher at the Keithian meeting. "The Keithian meeting appears to have been unsuccessful, and after two or three years it was broker up--the adherants joining other religious persuasions. Some became Episcopalians, and assisted in founding a church called "All Saints," in Lower Dublin; while others, becoming Baptists, but retaining the dress and language of the Quakers, were called Quaker Baptists. Some of these again changed into Seventh-day Baptists, and were the originators of that sect."

The following entry shows why it is so hard to track down Sarah Walton's father William.

The first was William Walton, the preacher; besides him we have "William, Jr.; William Walton, Benjamin's son; William Walton, Isaac's son; William Walton, Job's son; William Walton, Abel's son; Billy Thornton Walton; Jersey Billy, Shoemaker Billy; Duke Billy; Pony Billy; Hector Billy; Billy Duke; Soldier Billy; Shoe.
