Molly McLaughlin here---I am also responding that a sister of one of my husband's Belmont Co., Ohio ancestors was from Frederick Co., Md. where the Anderson's grandparents married (parents of Humphrey Anderson-William Clark Anderson and wife, Cavy Brashears md. in Frederick Co., Md. in 1776). William Clark's daughter married an Otho French- and he was described as "one of those wandering Quakers". So some of Belmont Co., Ohio at one time consisted of people who were/had Quaker background. Do you know a Cookie Eagle-Cookie is her knickname but she went to Lincoln School and Newark High, graduate year 1964-I think her husband was named Kenny Eagle?
