have come
from Bishopdale. It is also possible that they were Quakers

Martin Braithwaite was born Abt. 1770. He married (1) Ann Acomb February 01,
1796 in (also have Jan 02, 1796) Wheldrake, Yorkshire, England North Newbald,
England, daughter of John Acomb and Ann Kay. She was born July 12, 1772 (this
is a second marriage for Ann Acomb, her first marriage was to John Leng, of
Yorkshire). Ann and John Leng's son William went to Canada c 1822. Martin Braithwaite
married twice, his second wife was Hannah Ranson and they married August 12,
1827 in (also have Dec 08, 1827 as date) Osbaldwick register, Walkington, England.
By banns.
Notes for Ann Acomb: The name Acomb means "the
site of the Oak Trees". As well as being a family name in
Yorkshire at one time (very few people with the name Acomb are
still in the Yorkshire area), it was also the name of a small village
to the west of York, England, but today it is part of the suburbs.
Acombs can be traced back to the 1600's in the village of Long
Marston, which is 4 miles west of Acomb on the Wetherby Road. Joseph
was the most common name, followed by Thomas, Quentin, John, William
and Henry. They seem to be farmers and Church Wardens. Child of
Martin Braithwaite and Ann Acomb is:
2. i. Mary Braithwaite, b. December 06, 1797, North Newbald, England
(also have Christening June 12, 1797).
More about Richard Clark and Mary Braithwaite:
Marriage: January 28, 1815, North Newbald, England .

are:
i. Eliza Clark, b. Abt. 1816; d. 1852, Kirk Ella, England; m. William
Ransom, April 27, 1839, Welton, England. ii. James Braithwaite

his father as Joseph Coates, stonemason, but I am unable to find any records
