It appears that some loyalists were resettled in Canada and Nova Scotia after the Rev. War..by the British Government..perhaps some of these Quakers were loyalists.. According to some reports, there were several loyalists in western N.C...Infact, I am not at all sure that some of my ancestors were not on the British side, I have found no Rev. War land grants made to Hugh Herrell who would have likely been in the Rev. war...According to some family members, the Harrells etc. received a land grant from the English Crown in Burke-Rowan county, N.C...this would have been my folks..Also, the British were interested in getting the Cherokees on their side in that conflict and gave some settlers who were friendly and possibly, intermarried with Indians, land near the Cherokees in western N.C...I would like to learn more about settlement in western N.C. during the Rev. War period.. G. Lee Hearl..Abingdon, Va....

I've only recently become interested in the Quakers who migrated to Guilford and have been studying up on them. There's probably someone on the list who has more and better information, but the following is a thumb-nail sketch of what I've learned to date. The Cane Creek MM (in now Alamance Co.) was the first Quaker assembly in the area. It was principally formed by Quakers who came inland from the coast, but in later years was populated by others who migrated from the North. The New Garden MM was the second assembly (in the area), and was formed as a "splinter group" from Cane Creek, in, I believe, about 1756. Deep River was later formed from New Garden. New Garden was the largest and most influential group in what is now Guilford. The original New Garden MM site is now owned and located at Guilford College. The name New Garden was a legacy of the Quakers who migrated down from the area of Chester County, Pa., who belonged to the New Garden MM there. (And they inherited the name from a MM in Ireland, from where came most of the Pa. group). Generally, the New Garden members came 1) straight from the Pa. New Garden MM, 2) New Garden, Pa., members who took the detour to the Hopewell MM in what is now Winchester Co., Va. (just north of Winchester), and then moved south, 3) two distinct small waves of members from Newfoundland (Canada), and 4) small additions from the Va. MM's. The really big influx of Quakers into the area occurred at the same time that the Moravians came down from Pa., and coincidentally, with the first big migration of Scots-Irish Presbyterians to the Piedmont (mostly in what is now Rowan County). Though there were three distinct groups, ethnic and religious, in these migrations, chances are that many of them knew each other in Pa., and migrated together on their journey(s). Hope this helps somewhat with the general question. Lou Poole, Richardson, Tx (lpoole@dallas.net)

I, too, would like to learn more about this settlement in western NC. I have a William Harrell in my line in Guilford County, but I haven't been able to get any concrete information on where he might have come from or where he ended up. Pat

My Jackson's where from a group of Quakers that settle in the Chester Co. area of Penn in 1714 . They moved to Guilford Co. by 1760. In 1817 my Ggggrandfather moved to Georgia then in 1845 my gggrandfather settled in Alabama. I don't know if they continued the Quaker religion in Guilford or not, but there where Quaker Meeting Houses in the area. Some of the descendants of the original Jackson's moved to Georgia in the late 1700's. Hope this helps. Dorothy

I'm afraid I can't be much help on this message, but I do remember being told that a group of Quakers from Guilford left in this period to go to Canada. It has never been entirely clear to me why. I know that some of them were the Hiatts of Guilford, but some stayed behind and gave up the Quaker faith. Perhaps they suffered persecution in Guilford.

The most prominent Quaker meetings were the Deep River Friends Meeting, and the New Garden Friends Meeting. Records can be found in Hinshaw's Quaker Encyclopedia or by going to Guilford College (Founded by the Quakers). They have an abundance of information and family History's. There are also books that contain the names of the people buried at the cemetery's.

Can anyone tell me if there was a Quaker settlement in Guilford about 1800? If so, are records available for them? Gem

Can someone tell me if it is possible to obtain Guilford County, NC, court records, deeds, wills, etc. on microfilm via interlibrary loan. I have used the FHC for microfilm, but the closest center is a 60 mile round trip, and it is only open 3 days with various hours each day, which makes it hard to line up with working hours. The Library of Virginia offers a great interlibrary service, and hope to find one in North Carolina. Can anyone help? Cordially, Lorena

Anyone with an interest in Lewis HOSIER, b. 29 Dec 1775, NC, and his wife Clarissa DOLLARHIDE, married about 1799 in Randolph County, NC, please contact me. Thanks. Tim Walls (Louisville)

Hi Larry, I don't have Scott directly. My ancestor Mary, widow of Thomas MOODY may have married secondly Robert SCOTT. Robert Scott in his will in Guilford County written 24 Apr. 1791 left his wife Mary the house in Martinsville where he lived, and a negro girl Patience, provided she did not remarry within two years. His brother Thomas SCOTT got 150 acres in Rockingham County. He left Thomas MOODY 10 pounds, his saddle and bridle. Probated May 1791. This Thomas MOODY in the will was born ca. 1778, the son of Thomas MOODY (who died 1783/4) and wife Mary. Rick Saunders http://pweb.netcom.com/~fzsaund/0.html

The long-awaited Windows version of the program includes significant enhancements. "Personal Ancestral File 4.0 does not provide genealogical data. Instead, the program helps users organize their family history records. It can produce, in automated or manual form, records for personal family histories, charts, and logs to help users in their search for missing ancestors. It also includes new multimedia features and enhances the more popular features of version 3.0." The website is of course www.familysearch.com I went to the Family Search site and downloaded. It took about 15 minutes. It is supposed to support photos, etc. I already use the 3.0 version and am pleased with it. So this new update will be great. Cheers.
