Mary:
David is correct.Information on her parents, siblings, date of birth is found in "Hopewell Certificates of Membership and Removal, 1759-1776."Other Quaker records show that Beulah, after her 1787 marriage to Robert Branson, was disowned from the Quaker community for having married a first cousin.Branson's mother was Jane Painter, Isaac Painter's sister.
As for Buelah's daughter, Rachel, there's a tidbit in a bio. of John R. Hines appearing in G. W. H. Kemper, "A 20th Century History of Delaware County [Indiana]," vol. 2 (Chicago: Lewis Publishing Co., 1908): "Mr. Hines was born in Randolph County, Indiana, June 8, 1828, his parents being John and Rachael (Branson) Hines.The father was born in North Carolina March 17, 1789, and his death occurred in Monroe Township of Delaware County in 1865.He was married in Highland County, Ohio, to a native daughter of Virginia, and her death occurred in 1838, when about forty seven years of age.She bore her husband thirteen children, of whom John R. is the twelfth in order of birth and the only one now living.Her father, Robert Branson, was an early settler of Highland County, Ohio, and his wife before marriage was Beulah Painter.For his second wife Mr. Hines married Rebecca Branson, a sister of his first wife, and they became the parents of four children.From Highland County, Ohio, the family moved to Randolph County, Indiana, and in about 1830 came to Delaware County, casting in their lot with the first settlers of Perry Township.After a residence there of about eight years they came to Monroe Township, where the father spent the remainder of his life..."
There is another, related Beulah Painter, born 1800 in Virginia, d/o Robert Painter and Mary Haines, married Jesse Lukens.The two Beulahs were first cousins, once removed.
