Excerpt from Memorials Concerning Deceased Friends: Members of the Yearly Meeting

Memorial of Jericho Monthly Meeting of Friends, concerning our ancient Friend Elias Hicks.

We believe the example exhibited in the life and religious exercise of this our beloved Friend, is eminently calculated to set forth the efficacy and sufficiency of that Divine grace, which, when believed in and obeyed, bringeth salvation.

He was born in the town of Hempstead, Queens County, Long Island, State of New-York, the 19th day of the 3d month, 1748. His parents names were John and Martha Hicks. At the age of seventeen he was placed as an apprentice to learn the trade of a carpenter: on the expiration of his term, he returned to his father, with whom he lived until the time of his marriage, which took place about the twenty-third year of his age, to Jemima, daughter of Jonathan and Elizabeth Seaman, of Jericho, in said county, where he resided the remainder of his life.
