His parents were [[Heaton-542|Robert Heaton]] and [[Rycroft-13|Alice Rycroft]]. He arrived in Pennsylvania in 1682 at the age of 8. He and Mary Scaife are the parents of John Heaton who was born out of wedlock. He later married Ann Griffith in 1696 on May 7th. James Heaton died in 1709 at the age of 35. == Research Notes == The following appears to be a cut and paste from the link - it should be paraphrased and merged into the bio. [[Baty-260|Baty-260]] 13:42, 31 July 2019 (UTC) :http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~paxson/csp/Heaton.html :James Heaton2, was born 25 Twelfth Month [February] 1674 in Yorkshire. At the age of nine he immigrated with his family to Pennsylvania. He married Ann GRIFFTTH 7 Fifth Month [July] 1696. :James was not the stereotypical well-behaved Quaker. He had an affair with Mary SCAIFE (born 10 August 1678, died before 1738), daughter of Jonathan Scaife, Justice of the Peace and Coroner (1697 and 1699). Both James and Mary were convicted of bastardy in 1695 in the Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and fined, although Mary’s fine was later forgiven by William MARKHAM, Governor of Pennsylvania. Middletown Monthly Meeting also condemned James Heaton for having a child out of wedlock. Heaton denied it, as he also did in court. James and Mary Scaife never married, although numerous internet postings erroneously claim they did. :James married Ann GRIFFITH (daughter of John Griffith [d. 1713]) on 7 Fifth Month 1696 without his father’s blessing and not under the care of the meeting. He was disciplined 1 Eighth Month 1696 for disorderly marriage. He later acknowledged to marrying out of meeting in 1697, but continued to deny that he begat a child with Mary Scaife—:despite his court conviction for it. :James was involved in a complaint of scandal mongering with William PAXSON, Jr. 3 Eighth Month 1700. In 1710 James’s father had to post bond for him when James was accused of stealing a hog, although since James was a married man living in New Jersey by this time, it is possible this might have been some other James? Or perhaps that is why his father appeared in court in his place? :James operated a mill and ferry in Hopewell Township, Burlington County. In 1716 he was executor for the will of John PLUMLEY. == Sources == U.S. and Canada, Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s-1900s Place: Pennsylvania; Year: 1682; Page Number: 53 U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900Source number: 3291.009; Source type: Pedigree chart; Number of Pages: 19 U.S., Quaker Meeting Records, 1681-1935 ==Acknowledgements== * import of Conley - Dye,_2010-11-16.ged on 24 May 2011
