The records of the Quaker Meetings, which were supervised by the New York Yearly Meeting, are available on line at the Friends' Historical Library page on the Swarthmore College Web site. http://www.swarthmore.edu/fhl.xml So if you want to clarify any data found in the secondary genealogical sources, I recommend the Friends' Historical Library's search engine and Quaker records.
