Notes

2. Mary GLENDENNING

"A romantic tradition, perhaps fiction, says she was kidnapped by sailors, taken to America, and sold as a servant girl." "At the beginning of hostilities between Scotland and England, she was captured by a band of English sailors, transported immediately to America and sold to some settlers for a servant girl..."

The first record burial at Springfield [NC] was that of Mary Hoggatt...knowing the end near, she said to husband, who was then 93, 'Philip, our sons and daughters have moved into a new territory than the limits of Deep River Meeting. They have found homes near the field of Springs, and their children and their descendants for many generations to come will live and worship. I have never been afraid of the wilderness. I have followed thee from Scotland to Pennsylvania, thence to Virginia and North Carolina. I have never known fear in my life and I certainly shall not in death. When my body is put away, I shall like for it to be carried to Springfield and buried in the forest there, so that I may be near the meeting house and homes which our children have established. If I am buried there others will soon follow, so even as in life, let me in death be a pioneer."
