In Cane Creek Community there was a young man of 21 years named Michael Weisner. The Cane Creek Record II says he "was born in Gearminy" in April 1740. And it was this Michael who won the heart and hand of little seventeen-year-old Ruth Pike. The exact date of Ruth's marriage to Michael is not shown on the record, but it was obviously sometime in the spring of 1761, because the record shows that on July 11, 1761, she was reported to the Meeting as having been married "out of unity." This meant that Ruth had not received "liberty" from the Meeting to marry Michael, and that, since Michael was a non-quaker and Ruth was a Quakeress, Ruth was in effect turned out of the church and excommunicated unless and until she had made satisfaction to the Meeting. So was fulfilled the historical precept that the course of true love does not always run smoothly; and it appears to have taken some time before that course returned to the even tenor of its way.

Obviously, the best way to give satisfaction to the Meeting was for Michael to join the Church, and so it appears that Michael made application for membership, and it is recorded that on June 6, 1767, Michael was by request received into the Church. But the record had to be cleared all along the line, and we find a minute of the Women's Section stating that "Ruth Weesner gave in a paper Condemning her outgoing in Marriage which was received as Satisfaction."
