    3. The Downingtown, PA Downings were Quakers. Many of the Downing associates in Maryland were evidently Quakers, but I agree with Cheryl, I have seen no evidence that Timothy was one. joe >AFAIK Timothy Downing was NOT a Quaker.

    3. I read about the Day and Poe families, thought perhaps I found Thomas Day -- until I read he died in the War of 1812. He's not important -- I'm just curious. Cheryl Rothwell clrothwell@mindspring.com

    3. AFAIK Timothy Downing was NOT a Quaker. Joe has just found evidence, in fact, that he fought in the Revolutionary War. There is a persistent story in the family that the Downings were Quakers. However, I come from about four Downing lines that I'm aware of so I don't know which line that would be. Cheryl Rothwell clrothwell@mindspring.com

    3. Cherly, Do you know if Timothy Downing was a Quaker? In the Day-Poe database I mentioned, it was stated that the Pay and Poe families were Quakers from Pa.

In a message dated 12/29/98 4:57:43 PM PST, clrothwell@mindspring.com writes: << There is a persistent story in the family that the Downings were Quakers. >> The line of descendants of Thomas Downing, who arrived in Philadelphia in 1717, from Devonshire, England, and settled in nearby Chester county, PA, were all Quakers, largely up through the mid 1800's. The town of Downingtown, PA, was named after Thomas. Ray

    1. Re: [DOWNING-L] Day

    3. The Downings from Downingtown, Chester County, Pennsylvania were Quakers at one time. Remember that Quakers didn't always grow up to be Quakers for various reasons. One was to join the Patriot cause during the Rev - as my raised Quaker William Moore at the age of 18 who ran off to join Washington's army after the Battle of Brandywine. Also, if you married your cousin (a common occurance back in the 1700's and 1800's) you were discharged from the Quaker circle. Also if you moved west further than a meeting, you might just go to the closest house of worship - a lot of times non-denominational because you were just glad when a circuit rider stopped by once or twice a year.

    1. Re: [DOWNING-L] Downing & Day

    3. Thanks. Sam did marry Margaret Matthews and later Mary Day Matthews. Her first husband was named Thomas Day and Samuel Day is their son [both per Samuel Downing's Bible]. Thomas Day died March 6, 1822, also according to the Bible. That part I have. I wondered if that Samuel Day is the same Samuel Day who married into yet another branch of the Timothy Downing line. In Sam's Bible he gives birth dates for Margaret and Mary's siblings John, Thomas, William and [I can't make it out but from your post perhaps it is Sarah!!!].

Tell us. > Cheryl, I believe Mary Matthews Day was Samuel D. Downing's sister-in-law, sister of Margaret Matthews his first wife whom he married in Pike Co OH 8 January 1818 and with whom he had six children: George, Sarah, Elizabeth, Thomas, Mary Jane and Samuel Wesley. By his 16 May 1837 marriage to Mary Matthews Day he had two children: Willian Nelson and John Clark. Mary's first husband is said to have drowned...and his name may be Samuel Day. In an unidentified Hancock Co OH history: "Two other settlers of 1834 were Seymour Hastings and John Mathews. The former located in Section 14, south of Blanchard....Mathews came from Pike County, Ohio, and settled north of the river. It is said that he never owned land here, and died in the township. " There is a George Mathews deed in Pike Co OH 1801; and deeds for Ezekiel Mathews 1832, John Mathews 1836 and William in 1851. Joint owners of land in Pike Co OH, thomas, William, Sarah, and Mary Mathews sold land in 1841. And that is all I know about the Mathews except for material in Logan County, IL printed materials, and I don't know if there is a connection. Sherry

    1. [DOWNING-L] Downings as Criminals

    3. In some random research I used Peter Wilson Coldham's books such as "English Convicts in Colonial America," "Bonded Passengers to America" and "Bristol Records of Servants to America." There are plenty of Downings in all. These books are probably in your local library. Be careful what you search for. You might find your immigrant ancestor was a horse thief! <g> Actually, probably not. They would have hung a horse thief.

A great grandaunt of mine was baptized Sarah Ellen Downing. Her sister's will refers to her as Ellie Sallie Downing. Her death certificate calls her Ella S. Downing as does her grave marker, and "Genealogy of the Palmer-Trimble Families" calls her Ellie Sarah Downing. But she came from a family of 12 children, and I reckon Mom and Pop Downing used to just say, "Hey, you!" <g> I'm sure we all have horror stories about just how to name an ancestor on the old computer database, huh?

    3. Hey Downing group - just a little about names: In naming children, given names were not always the names the children were known as. Some names had specific "nicknames" such as: Mary was known as Polly Martha went by Patty Ann was Nancy etc. Linda Moss
