Ray: Your Joseph Taylor and wife Martha Brown were Quakers (Society of Friends) and members of the Falls Monthly Meeting in Bucks Co. See _Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy_ Vol. II by William W. Hinshaw. His six volumes are available in most genealogy libraries and on microfiche in every LDS Family History Center. If your library does not have these books, I'm certain Sutro does. TAYLOR: Joseph B., s Benjamin & Sarah, b. 3-16-1821 d 12-18-1876, buried Fallsington [He died before the 1880 census which explains his omission] m Martha B. BROWN, dt Thomas and Martha (BYE), b. 9-9-1819, d 10-23-1882, buried Fallsington Ch: Sophia b. 2-12-1851 Annie B. b. 10-6-1855 Lucy b. 4-18-1858 d. 2-27-1901, buried Fallsington Benjamin H. b. 4-14-1861 Sarah B. b. 10-13-1863 I don't find mention of this Joseph and Martha in the marriage records of Bucks MM so they must have married elsewhere. There is no record of their parents having been members of this meeting either. The latest TAYLOR entry is dated 1823 so I cannot tell you who the children married or if they moved on to a different meeting at a later date. -=CHESKA=- Q-R List Manager -- -=CHESKA=- E-mail address: cheska@ix.netcom.com Web site: <http://www.geocities.com/cwheatley2000/> Sponsor: ANDIS, BADGLEY, CLAYTON, COOPER, & MILLS surname lists List Manager: QUAKER-ROOTS discussion list RootsWeb: Dedicated to Keeping Access to Online Genealogy Free
