Wikipedia - Jemima Wilkinson (29 November1752 - July 1, 1819) was a charismatic American evangelist who preached total sexual abstinence and the Ten Commandments to her Quaker "Society of Universal Friends." Her family were strict Quakers, most of her views were from her upbringing in the Quaker religion.

Jemima was the daughter of Amy (n�e Whipple) and Jeremiah Wilkinson, the cousin of Stephen Hopkins, in Cumberland, Rhode Island. She attended silent worship with Quakers at the Smithfield Meeting House with her family. As a young woman in the mid 1770s, she attended meetings with New Light Baptists.

***Notation from Gary FRITZ - RE: Ruthie Spencer - Source: History & Biography of Yates Co, Vol 1, Benton Biographies, pg. VIII (on this website) - I don't know if one can take the 1761 date as "gospel", as the bio has a different DOD.
