John Painter and Susannah Stratton were married November 1759 in Burlington County, New Jersey.Jesse Faulker and Martha Smith are reported to have married about 1744 at Old Swede's Church, Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware.There was another marriage between the two families: "David Painter, Son of John and Susannah Painter in the County of Frederick and State of Virginia, and Martha Faulkner, Daughter of Jesse and Martha Faulkner of Berkley County and State Afores'd; 8th day of 2nd month, 1786; at Middle Creek."(Hopewell Friends History, 1734-1934, p. 285.)Middle Creek is in Frederick County.
Elizabeth Painter's date of birth is from this same source.She was not living when her youngest daughter, Elizabeth Faulkner, married Jesse Sheppard on 23 August 1815 in Greene County, Ohio.
