    2. Sandra Ferguson
    3. Unfortunately, as with most things there is no giant book that contains all of anything, whether it be Rev. War Vets or MM records (wouldn't it be wonderful if there were?).....so, you'll have to search for EACH MM you're interested in. ....there was no Newlin MM, and for a listing of all Chester MMs, and their dates of inception, visit the Chester Co site and look under Quaker Info. You might want to check the lookup list and see what Quaker meeting lookups are offered, also located on the Chester site. You could also do a place search on the LDS online site....using Chester County Pa as your search subject. This will give you a list of EVERYTHING they have available on film....this includes many MM records. According to DESCENDANTS OF JOEL BAILY, by Gilbert Cope, (just a bit on each generation, in case you already have it all) Joel Baily and Ann Short (original emigrants) m 1687 Kennett mm Josiah Baily and Sarah Marsh , 1732-3 Sadsbury Joel Baily and Hannah Wickersham, m 1757 Gravenor Baily , son of Joel and Hannah Wickersham Baiy, took a certificate from New Garden to Concord, as an apprentice, in 1778, and brought one back in 1780. In 1780 he moved to Kennet, and in 1784, to Warrington, York Co. If Gravenor DID serve in the Military, he would have been disowned for that action and no longer considered a Friend or member of any MM before he married a non-Quaker.) So, if he remained a member of any MM till his marriage, I would discount the lore that he fought in the war. Sandra Where does one find these records from the Quaker Monthly Meetings? Say Kennett, Newlin, and Wilmington? Gravener Baily b.1757 Chester Co son of Joel Baily & Hannah Hayes Wickersham, Quakers Served as Pvt. in Capt. Joseph Luckey's 7th Cav, Newlin Twp. 1782 14 October 1784 removed from the Kennett MM. He married (Elizabeth ??) in Boston by a non-Quaker (Baptist teacher) after the Revolutionary War. 12 Sep (?1787?) at the Wilmington MM, Joseph Chambers & Ephraim Yarnell to investigate a complaint of fornication 14 Nov 1787 Wilmington MM he was no longer considered a Quaker due to the marriage. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
