Carol, they are meetinghouses. I have some good stuff I will send you--hopefully will remember when I get home. If not, remind me. It is from the Hinshaw book which I have on CD. Many of my ancestors were Quakers in West Jersey and Philadelphia, so I have studied them quite a bit. I have also visited many meetinghouses--I have pictures. Will try to send you one of those also as they have a distinctive look. Barbara Barbara L. de Mare, Esq.

I am so lost in starting this research. I am going have to read a few books about Quakers in the area to get a feel for this research. I grew up on Long Island and remember going to a Fall Event each year at the local "Friends" did they call them churches? It was a long time ago, in Syosset NY. Thanks, Carol L.
