Hi All, Frank , Off hand I would say that article w was written by Judge Francis Thayer for the Mendon Historical Society. I have copies of many of his manuscripts here and have gone through a few this evening but so far have not come across any that mention the Quaker Meeting House and etc. However the paragraph about someone being in love with a Thayer teacher is very familiar because in one of his manuscripts . I recall, he mentions this and he names my Grandfather, :) I will keep ;looking and see if I have a copy of anything that has what you have written and get back to you, if I should find it. However may times he does repeats tid bits in his manuscripts. Judge F. Thayer wrote more about Blackstone , Ma, than any other historian.. and Thanks to his manuscripts many of us find tidbits about our ancestors we never would find elsewhere. Marcus M Aldrich did the same for the Town of Mendon in all his writings also. I'll keep looking , wish me luck. . :) Alice
