Hi, Bill, nice to hear from you. I'll check my database for the family names you mentioned and let you know. I have the minutes from 1823-1839 almost completed, except for the statistical tables. There never has been a history written of this association as far as I know, and I'm gradually compiling information which could be made into a pamphlet history. There is a possibility I might publish something of this nature, for free distribution or else at a very minimal cost to cover postage. The minutes after 1839 are also in existence, with a few exceptions, through 1914.
