    1. Re: [OLD-FREDERICK-CO-VA] Re: Frederick County Information
    2. Hi Hal and List, trying to answer all of your questions one by one here. I have books -deeds/wills/court that I do my research and and found this for Quaker Migration into Frederick CO VA. The Quakers' of New Castle CO DE , Burlington CO NJ and East & West Nottingham, Chester CO PA and parts of Cecil CO MD had families move to Frederick CO VA. The Early 1670-1680s Burlington Quakers and one oldest families are the Claytons that I sent out , have a hugh connection with East & West Nottingham, PA / Cecil CO MD 1722 Tax list by Gilbert Cope 1881. I get most of my research from this one book about 800 pages and as big as a family bible . The New Castle CO. DE Quakers are tied to the Kennett, Chester CO PA Quakers by 1715. The Kennett Quakers went to Cane Creek MM Orange CO NC 1755 and were large there by 1790. The Nottingham , New Garden, Chester CO PA Quakers and the Bradford, PA Quakers where the Copes' lived went to Rowan/Guildford CO NC with Quakers' in Surry, Stokes, Randolph CO. -1790 and they have hugh connection to the Cane Creek , Orange CO NC Quakers . Note: you can without a doubt reconstruct hundreds of families for the 1790 US Census for North Carolina counties on the above list using WILLIAM WADE HENSHAWS NC Quaker records . Note: has anyone seen the 1755 Orange CO NC tax list on the internet it was one of the first TAX LISTS listed on the internet about 1998. This Tax list has a William COPE and dog gone it I went and found many of the names listed on that tax list are CANE CREEK Quakers. There is a migration to Cane Creek NC from Kennett, Chester CO PA and Frederick CO VA - see W.W. Henshaw records for all 3 places. We also know that Frederick CO VA Quakers went to Rowan CO NC in droves in the 1760s. The Quakers who went to NC 1750s and 1760s lasted longer in this religion than the ones who moved from Frederick CO VA going towards KY . I announced about 2 years ago to the Cope mailing list that I found 4 1780s KY Forts with Quaker connections . They are Fort Boonesborough, Fort Strode, Fort Ruddell and Bryan''s Station , KY. I believe I will find more in 1780s and should prove that not only was Daniel Boone a birth Right Quaker in KY there were hundreds more of them and they were the first group having a common religion connection in KY..
