WEll, I found the site with photographs of Ohio Quaker sites, but still am confused. I know of the Short Creek prep. meeting that was an off-shoot of the Concord monthly meeting, but can't seem to determine where it was geographically. I'm familiar with a small area now called Short Creek, but is that where the prep. meeting was? A site I visited seems to indicate that the Short Creek meeting was held in Mt. Pleasant, later to be home to the Yearly meeting. So, does anyone know WHERE the early Short Creek meeting was actually held (ca 1804)? Sandra

. "... So, does anyone know WHERE the early Short Creek meeting > was actually held (ca 1804)? " Sandra Sandra, et al: Reviewed my data and noted under my Catherine Hibbs some cut and paste info re: Quakers of which Short Creek is said to be aka: Mt Pleasant, but in Jefferson Co., versus Belmont Co....unless county lines changed in this regard. Perhaps that info will help you locate the it on an old map? Below is the info about Ohio from my research.
