Dave. I think we corresponded in the past on the Slacks. In any case, I'll coattail on your message. I have a Cornelius Slack White who died in Ohio. My James White who married Hannah Yardley was from Bucks. I have always suspected that there was a White-Slack marriage sometime between 1800 (perhaps earlier) and say 1830. Otherwise, perhaps just named for a good friend. The Slacks and Whites lived near one another. So, if anyone knows of a Slack-White marriage please let me know. Mike in Carlisle PA

Hi Joan, I am interested in deaths of early Slacks, up to about 1865 or so. The lived mostly in Makefield townships. One Slack was in a boat with Gen. George Washington when they crossed the Delaware. I think it was James Slack, son of Abraham Slack. Thanks!!!!!!!! dave in Seattle

I have a Martha Shellenberger, born Jan 05, 1877 in Bethlehem, Northampton Co., Pa. Her parents were Oliver Shellenberger, b Jul 14, 1839 in Richland Twp., Bucks Co., PA and Elizabeth Canning, b Jan 04, 1845 in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, PA.

Is anyone out there researching SCHELLENBER/SCHELLENBERGER or BRIGGS? My GG-Grandmother, Martha Anne (nee BRIGGS) GRAHAM supposedly came from Bucks Co. She died ca. 1906 and the only info that I've found from her death record is that her Mother's Name was Mary Schellenberg. Thank you....

Skip & Wendy My great grandmother was Rebecca Shupe who married John Markley Stauffer. She was the daughter of Joseph Shupe and Elizabeth Prutzman.

Never heard of it but I will ask Tom Hamm about it. Andrea From: E Johnson <[email protected]> I thought there had been a Kiethian split also, ca 1695-1700, due to the influence of Kevin Kieth. But maybe that was only very local to Quakers who had come to Radnor Township. Liz J

Thanks for replying re: Thomas Harvey. This is a different family, although likely related. Thomas Harvey, the husband of Tamar, died in 1759, not 1779, and his son Thomas predeceased him. I am still looking for a wife of Thomas Harvey who lived at times at Falls and at times in New Jersey, and died in 1779. Thanks. --Susan

Again Andrea I must thank you for the information. I intend to call Moorstown tomorrow and see what I can find out. If I get stuck you may hear from me again.

We are all different that's for sure, all unique simply by the uniqueness of the membership that makes it up, but at least we are all the same when it comes to a decission during MM! :) Would love to attend an unplanned meeting for the experience. 3 years ago, when my father was dying, I went to my old childhood church (not Quaker), I was bowled over by all the noise. I was sure missing my Quite Worship time. Was glad to get back home when I was able. From what I understand there were 3 splits Hicksite was the first. Hicksite kept same kind of records and within the IYM area, those are housed Ohio Valley Yearly Meeting Archives at Wilmington College a few at Earlham College, I asked Tom Hamm the custodian of IYM about that not long ago. But in the Heiss abstracts done for the Quaker Encyclopedias have the Hicksite info in them. ">>> Andrea, >>> Here's a reply for you to pass along. In 1827-1828 American Quakers >>> split into Hicksite and Orthodox groups. Hicksite Friends considered >>> themselves to be Friends just as much as the Orthodox, and continued >>> to keep exactly the same sorts of records. >>> In the 1840s and 1850s a group of radical reformers who called >>> themselves Congegational or Progressive Friends split from the main >>> Hicksite group.

I will have to do some digging, it's been a few months, I have Max Carter of Guilford College, on video tape talking about it, so I will watch it again and see what he says. I have posted to my local Rootsweb a list of Quaker Record Abb. on 10-21,2006 at INRANDOL if anyone would need those.

It is interesting that even within the Quaker faith there is so much variation in worship styles. My understanding is the old records are also separated by which meetings split and followed the Hicksite or the other branch (not thinking of it at the moment). Best wishes,

Yes that is true, there are more unplanned meetings in the East than here in the midwest. There are a few here but many have a pastor and a planned meeting with Quiet Worships built in as well. I have not attended a meeting that was unplanned as of yet, but maybe someday in my travels I will. Some of the bigger meetings here have two worship services, one unplanned before First Day School and then a planned meeting. My meeting is small but in within the IYM it is concidered one of the large to medium ones in attandance and membership.

Does anyone know who the wife may be of Thomas Harvey of Falls, who died in 1779? There seems to be no will abstract, unfortunately He was Military Captain in 1775. From newspaper ads of settling the estate it appears the first name of his wife is Sarah. Although the family is Quaker, I find no record of a Quaker marriage in the local area, at least that I can access online. I would also appreciate suggestions of where to look for the information. I haven't been to a Family History Center yet. Thanks for any suggestions. --Susan

Wendy, I cannot find anything on the Shupe family in Davis' "History of Bucks Co.", Vol. #3 which is the only one that has surnames indexed alphabetically. Perhaps there is something in Battles history of Bucks. I do not have access to that volume. I also checked Martindales "History of Byberry and Moreland" which is Philadelphia Co. and could not find anything there either. Norma Stilwell, Researcher, Bucks List

Does anyone have any info of Abraham SHUPE born in Bucks county in 1808. or Shupe family info from here?? Wendy

Hello-- I came across a Benjamin Thomas, brother of Christianna Thomas, on an Ohio census record, c. 1850. Benjamin and Christianna were born in Bucks County. Benjamin lived in NW Ohio (Wood County, I believe) in his later years with the Wilson family. Do you know if your Benjamin might have gone to Ohio?
