     Enoch Flower married Rebecca Barnett in March 1713/14 at Concord Monthly Meeting, Concord, Middlesex Co., MA, From the files of the Delaware County (PA) Historical Society. The information was credited to research done by David S. Keiser in the 1950s. In 1962, the results of that research were published by the Associated Press and in a Friends Journal article by Henry Cadbury.

Keiser (and Cadbury) first referenced a record in the minutes of Concord MM for the March 1713 marriage of Enoch Flower and Rebecca Barnet/Barnard, the parents of Rebecca Flower. The minutes identified Enoch and Rebecca "as both belonging to this meeting" -- i.e., members.

The point of this is that Rebecca Flower was born into a Quaker family.

Further, the minutes also show that, on July 5, 1743, Rebecca Flower married John Lincoln. Here's the wiggle room, as summarized by the AP and printed in
the New York Herald Tribune on Feb. 11, 1962:

"Mr. Keiser concedes there is no proof Mrs. John Lincoln ever joined the Meeting. But, as Dr. Cadbury puts it: 'In that period of Quaker history there were no membership lists, but with the prohibition against marrying out of the Meeting there is strong presumptions that persons married in Meeting were both of the Friends, and their children would be accounted Friends as well."
