There are a lot of Frazier Friends buried at Cherry Grove Friends, probably some at Quaker Lynn. You should go two routes here for info I think. One would be the museum, cemetery records and Friends directories would help you here I think. Also ask for the land records info from the land deeds records index book from the Cincinnati, Ohio office. All land purchases for this area were recorded in Cincinnati during those early years. www.randolphcountyindianahistoricalsociety.org and I think you should contact Tom Hamm at the Lilly Library, Earlham College in Richmond, IN. Tom is the custodian of records (for Indiana Yearly Meeting) and works in the Archive of the library. He would be able to get the minutes from the meeting that she attended, became a member of, was born a birthright friend of, which would include her parents names, where they were born if they were Friends, where they came from, when they passed, where they are buried maybe and so on. The area they were probably in would have been Greenfork and/or Washington Township. 1816, Indiana was just barely at state when she was born, Randolph County area would have been a part of Wayne County at the time. Randolph County was formed from Wayne County, IN Sept. 1818, and the county line ran all the way up to the Michigan State Line. Friends Meetings to focus on would be New Garden, in New Garden Township, Wayne County, IN. This meeting was just laid down this spring. All the records should be at the Archive. Cherry Grove Friends, Bloomingsport Friends, Lynn Friends, Arba Friends. Arba was the first community in Randolph County in the Territory Days. Cherry Grove was laid down in the 1950s, Bloomingsport a few years ago. Lynn and Arba are still active, but their early records will probably be at the Archive. Go to www.iym.org for addresses for the meetings. Andrea
Thanks to all who replied to my message. Many years ago I found several books at a local library with the records of the Friends Meetings. That was how I traced my Jay family. I did write to Tom Hamm and he was very helpful at that time. I'm glad to see he is still at the Lilly Library. Back then, I was only tracing the Jays. I will follow your advice and see what turns up. Thanks, again. Gloria Andrea wrote: > There are a lot of Frazier Friends buried at Cherry Grove Friends...
