The Quaker Meeting, August 29th, 1776

Two of her elder brothers, Stephen and Jeptha, they are kicked out of the Quaker Church for participating in military preparations associated with the American Revolution. Jemima becomes sick about a month after she's expelled from the church. I think being expelled from the Church was actually devastating. There are some descriptions that almost sound like she was on the edge of a breakdown, really,. She was so distraught about being expelled. This meeting disowns her from membership. It didn't seem like Jemima wanted to leave the Quakers but she ignored their warnings and paid the price.
