I am trying to track relatives of my David Jones, born in Wales in 1709 and came to US with Quakers. He left Quaker and went back to Episcopal. Anyway, thru a book on Jones's it was said he came over with family. It may have been his relations thru his mother and not Jones's. Any one out there have any suggestions. I was trying to figure out which Quaker group David may have been with at onset of US time. Also is there any place mentioned where he was cut loose from the society. It seems like they did that and kept track of folks leaving Quakers. Just had to put it out there. Thanks Dianne Jones

Generally speaking, a person who left the 'fold', so to speak, was mentioned in the records of the meeting he belonged to as being dis.....but, the Friends didn't keep track of individuals AFTER they left the faith. So, the best bet is for you to go through local meeting records, and keep your fingers crossed that he will appear. You might want to start with traditionally Welsh meetings. ( you know, of course, that the Jones/John/;Johns is horribly common in the area....makes your chore SO hard!!)
