Can you tell me which type of record would most likely contain the following:
(This from Jane W. T. Brey's book "A Quaker Saga")

"Robert Sotcher was 'cleared of Truth 4th 6th mo. 1731' by Falls Friends and
was reinstated into membership. Robert and Mercy Sotcher resided in New
Jersey."

>From Hinshaw Falls MM: "1731,5,7 Satcher, Robert con mou"

Hinshaw records his dismissal for marrying out of unit of Friends. But does
not reflect the above "clearance". I have looking in one Falls record on
microfilm and did not find the above entry.

Hinshaw does reflect dis, rmt, dis mcd, dis mou of John, Phebe, Mercy,
Sarah, Rachel and Robert - (all children of the above Robert) but does not
reflect their acceptance into the society.

Any suggestion will be appreciated.
