I can tell you this and that is I can just about link most Quakers back to the Cope and Quaker Boone families. I am away from home right now, however, these conversations about Quakers, Delaware Count, and marriages is of interest to me. My GGGgrandfather, and his son both named Amos Mendenhall were in Federick County. Amos is listed in the 1787 tax census, and his son Amos married a Jane Dunn in Old Frederick County, about 1815. I know very little about Amos Mendenhall and Betty Hayes. If, BIG IF, you can help me find out more about these two I would greatly appreciate it. I am reading the emails using public computers, so I don´t have all my informtion with me. I did not find much about Amos and Betty in the Cope books that I have seen. Again, it may be in another Cope book. I do know a lot about the descendants of Amos and Betty.

You'll find quite a bit of information on Amos Mendenhall if you go to http://www.mendenhall.org Select Data repository, then select The Mendenhall Data Set You will get a page with a search box. Enter the name you are searching for - in this case Amos Mendenhall and submit. Amos who married Jane Dunn is #20 on the list born abt 1748 PA. This is a very good site because it includes much source material. For example, it says that your Amos was actually married twice and in 1860 he was a furrier in Trivoli IL. However, there can be mistakes so you need to verify the data yourself. One way to verify much of the Quaker data, at least for birth, marriage, and death dates are to use the Hinshaw volumes that document the various meetings. Amos the father and his parents Samuel Mendenhall and Esther Williamson will probably be in one of those volumes, but Amos, the father was disowned for fighting and marrying out of unity by the Wilmington, DE Quakers in 1774. So it will be harder to verify the births of his children.
