  {{Pennsylvania Settlers}} ---- ==Biography== Mary Scaife was born in Calverley, Yorkshire, England on June 10 1678 to [[Scaife-4|Jonathan Scaife]] and [[Hazzell-1|Ann Hazzell]]. Mary and James Heaton had a son, John Heaton, which James denied despite a court conviction in 1695 in the Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. John was raised by his grandfather, Jonathan Heaton. Mary Scaife went on to marry John Rumford on July 7 1699. Together, they had 9 children - Sarah, Rebecca, Jonathan, Mary, Rachel, Hannah, Martha, Miriam, and Thomas. Mary passed away in her 50s before 1738. === Birth === : Birth: :: Date: 10 JUN 1678 :: Place: Calverley, Yorkshire, England :: Source: [[#S2774]]::: Page: Source number: 3291.009; Source type: Pedigree chart; Number of Pages: 19; Submitter Code: . :::: Text: Birth date: 1678Birth place: En == Sources == : Source <span id='S2774'>S2774</span> : Author: Yates Publishing : Title: U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900: Publication: Name: Online publication - Provo, UT, USA: The Generations Network, Inc., 2004.Original data - This unique collection of records was extracted from a variety of sources including family group sheets and electronic databases.

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. 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. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~paxson/csp/Heaton.html :Note for consideration written by Syd Rumford, 3 April 2015: In the ''History of the Heaton Family'', it is stated that Mary Scaife had a son out of wedlock with James Heaton. The Heaton family stated the son's name was John, born born in 1690 and raised by his grandfather, Jonathan Scaife. None of this is substantiated by any reasonable evidence. What evidence there is from 1695 court records stating that Mary had a child with James Heaton, and her father Jonathan Scaife paid a fine of £10. James Heaton denied of having had a child with Mary. But a jury trial found that he was the father. The records do not specify the child sex, name, or if the child lived. And a birth date of 1690 and court records of 1695 is too much time elapsed, especially for a small Quaker community of Middletown, Pennsylvania. And there is no evidence of Jonathan Scaife supporting a grandson name John Heaton. ==Acknowledgements== This person was created through the import of Conley - Dye,_2010-11-16.ged on 24 May 2011.
