Can anyone help me?

I'm researching my wife's Doane ancestors in Buck Co. but am stumped on one particular marriage: between Levi Dennis (1750-1810) and Sarah Doane (1756-1821). At least I speculate that this was a marriage - there does not appear to be any clear evidence for it.

Sarah Doane is listed in the Doane Family Genealogy book as the daughter of John Doane (1717-1788) and Hannah Wilson. John was the son of Eleazor Doane (b 1691), the son of Daniel Jr (b 1666), son of Daniel Sr (b 1636), son of Deacon John Doane, the immigrant ancestor.

Levi Dennis and Sarah Doane were Quakers, and moved to Ontario after the Revolution. Their daughter Sarah Dennis married Asa Rogers.

There are records indicating Levi fought in the Revolutionary War. I've been told there is also the following details available in “Bucks Co. PA Church Records of the 17th and 18th Centuries":

"The case of Levi Dennis considered, is having taken an oath of Alegiance and abjuration under the present unsettled state of public affairs and has gone out in marriage with a young woman belonging to Wrightstown monthly meeting and paid fines imposed for the support of war."

Does anyone have further access to the Wrightstown meeting notes or any other records which might confirm this marriage?

Much obliged.
