Thanks to the work of a local researcher, I've already found a ton of info......Dr. Kerns has written a couple books that contain a lot of data on all these folks...and, yes, you're right.....they are all Quakers, one of whom was a 'charter member' of the Hopewell MM....a James Wright, if memory serves. (these are all new folks to me, so I don't have the info committed to memory yet!! (but, give me time!!). I am well acquainted with Hinshaw, and have it on a CD......many of my folks are included in the records, showing the trek from ChesterCo, Pa, to Va and on to Ohio (thank goodness for Quakers; they were fabulous record keepers and make our research so much easier). If I can look anyone up in Hinshaw for you, please ask.
