This is an abbreviation for "Monthly Meeting", the most local division of the Quaker organization. Yearly Meetings organized Quarterly meetings which in turn organized Monthly Meetings, so this is roughly the equivalent of Back Creek Church. It is the location of the "parish records", as it were, not the actual birth location.
