Il Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Crawford/195 Surname: Musgrave ------------------------- From the Robinson Daily News article of Tuesday August 18 1998. The Union Meeting House near E. Bishop's was also called Musgrove's Meetings. This referred to Nathan Musgrave, another of the early Quakers. In 1861 the meet-ing was re-established, but laid down again in 1863. In 1872 it was re-established again and continued there until Samuel and Ruth Green gave an acre of land to the meeting in 1873. The next reference to the new meeting house is the nota-tion, Aug. 3, 1873: "Paid Enos Buckner, treasurer of the Meeting House building committee, $50.00 on my part." Part of the roll call of 1874 was: Delphia Cox, Cinderilia Mills, Ruth Green, Isobel Kennedy, Carolyn Guyer and Jane Guyer. The 1879 minutes carried the names of MarthaB. Newlin, Minta Reynolds, Phoeba Lindley and Jemima Cox. Other names added in 1880 were [email protected] Lindley, Abram Guyer, Samuel Green, Mary Jane Guyei Merrick Cox, Asa Folger, Hannah Lindley, John Cox, Adolphus Guyer, Benjamin Harrison, Leander Guyer, Al Reynolds, Burrell Bryant, Elihu Mills, James Conrad ani Henry Voorheis. The land for the new church was one and one-half mi, west of Route I on the Annapolis Road, in Hutsonville Township, commonly called Quaker Lane. The deed is dated April 1, 1873, and is to the Trustees of Rocky Run Monthly Meeting of Friends in Parke County, Ind., where the church remains today.
