Surnames: ALLEN LAMB DIXON MOON WORKMAN HARRIS CHENOWETH Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Bk.2ADE/1554 Message Board Post: I'm curious to know if anyone has information on my Quaker ancestors who moved from Orange Co., NC to Lynn, Randolph Co., IN. I know that Larkin and Malinda ALLEN MOON were buried at Cherry Grove Cemetary just outside of Lynn. Some of their children and Malinda's parents, Herman and Louise LAMB ALLEN are also buried there. I'm not certain as the the reason they all relocated to Indiana, except that they may have played a part in the "Underground Railroad" during the Civil War. My GGGrandfather, Larkin Moon, had been a Confederate Soldier during the war, so there's some confusion over how he ended up with a Quaker Family in Indiana. Does anyone recall exactly what the history is of the Cherry Grove MM, or do I not have correct info? Were they a part of another Indiana Quaker Meeting House prior to Cherry Grove? I'd appreciate anyone's help with this.

There were many MOON's in Clinton Co Oh and also from possibly NC or Va. I have one, Mary Moon mar in Rooks or Smithson families. Some other surnames there that also moved into Randolf Co Ind in early 1800's and on. Thurman; Rooks, Smithson, Clevenger, Thornburg, Halloway, Jackson, and other's. Some came from Va before 1800 or abt very early 1800's . Some were in Stoney Creek area Randolph Co. and also in Delaware Co Ind next to Randolph Co.

Sharon, Cherry Grove Friends Meeting was set up as a preparative meeting under New Garden Monthly Meeting in 1820. The meeting was laid down in 1949. In 1921 the last meetinghouse was erected. It was sold and moved away soon after the meeting was laid down. The cemetery is well cared for at this time. Austin Cox --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus]
