Pa. Margaret M. Evinger (Mar.17, 1826 - June 5, 1863; bu. Landisberg Cem.) married to David Grove (Dec. 1825 Pa. - Mar.1916 Indiana) Three of four children of this marriage reached adulthood, Wilson (d. 1882; bu. in Landisberg Cem.) Irving and Anna Mary. Research places Irving in California, Anna Mary (married to Tillison?) in Nebraska in 1916; seeking descendants of these two. David resided (appears) in the Landisberg area 1850 - 1869, then with second wife Eliza Collar relocated to Steuben Co. Indiana. Willing to share known family data on David Grove, (my g grandfather) and his father, Abraham Grove 1789 - 1882 Pa.

No one has mentioned that there were Quaker meetings in Columbia County...in that part of Columbia that is adjacent to Schuylkill & Northumberland Cos. Roaring Creek area had a Quaker meeting. I have gr-gr grandfather (Simon Light) who was from Wheatfield Twp., Perry Co. Around 1845 he went to Dauphin Co. and by 1850 was in Schuylkill Co. He is considered to be the founder around 1852 of what was a UB Church in Valley View. The UB's united at some point with the United Methodists. "His" church is now St. Andrew's United Methodist Church in Valley View. He got his early UB training in Perry Co. Some family members belonged to Snyder's Church in Perry Co. In some instances I noticed the the term "meeting" was used. But in my opinion this was not meant to be a Quaker meeting. I have never been able to find any Quaker meeting connection for Simon Light. The UB"s tended to have what were called "camp meetings". These were held usually outdoors in the summer. Some are still in existence. Perhaps this will help give you a different perspective on your searching. Peggy Lyte Tyrrell Searching Light, Lickal, Dickel, Hoffman, Westfall, Ulsh, Allison in Perry Co.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Weldon Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/odB.2ACI/508 Message Board Post: Looking for any information on John Weldon 1817-1902 and his brother Joseph Weldon 1814-1878, they came to Perry County from Cape May County, NJ in 1837, they were listed as colliers in 1841. Any help with cemetery listings, obits, or family of hte above would be appreciated. They lived in Wheatfield Twnp at one point.

Although the Swarthmore Meeting House may be a little far from Juniata or Perry County, it is my understanding that it is a fairly large group which has been in existence for a long time (I believe William Penn was directly affiliated with them), is still active and is affilated with Swarthmore College. Therefore, I thought they may have the resources to answer the question you posed in your original email. The other emails which have been sent in response to yours have mentioned other Quaker groups. I do not know their proximity to Juniata or Perry Counties -- they may very well be closer. However, I grew up in Pennsylvania and the Swarthmore group was the only group of which I had ever heard, at least in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. Good luck.

I am looking at the Bible of a g+aunt whose husband (at least) was a member of the Dunkard Church. Many early 18th century Pennsylvanians, esp with ties to Philadelphia, were associated with this very conservative denomination... Take a look at this site which I found helpful: <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/gentutor/churches.html">Early American Church Denominations</A> @ http://www.geocities.com/gentutor/churches.html Jacqueline J Sheldon Surnames: Walker, Dymond, Hollister, Jones, Whitlock; Keck, Simons

There were Quakers in Northumberland County, PA, across the river from Perry County. Here is an interesting web site AN HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL RECORD OF THE QUAKERS IN NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, AND WHAT BEFELL THEM http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~nungesser/John/ElizaDiary/Diary .html I believe this may have been the neighborhood of Shamokin. I 've seen some references to the Quakers in Cumberland County but I can't find it right now. Will keep looking. There were meeting houses closer than Chester County and Lancaster County and Phila. There were Irish Quakers in this area, in the time frame that would be relevant. Hope this helps.

The people on this list have been so very kind. Perhaps it would help if anyone interested actually saw the picture of the lady. It's on my website: http://www.angelfire.com/ok2/chatmondieu/GingerichPhotos.html along with her husband, the UB minister. I do want to thank everyone again, for all their comments and suggestions.

There is also a Quaker Meeting house near Wellsville, York County.

Charlotte Where is Downingtown? I'm being lazy. I could look it up on the Net. *smile* Thank you for another tidbit to work with.

Carolyn. Those would be a little far for someone who lived in Juniata county, wouldn't it? Do you think there was a nearer one? And thank you for the information. You all are so very helpful!

This web page has information and links for people hunting Quaker ancestors. TheUnited Bretheren were a very different organization, composed largely of Germans. It was founded in the late 1700's and was strongly influenced by Methodism. See, Kuhns, German and Swiss Settlements of Pennsylvania, 1901.

There is a Quaker Meeting House (I believe that is the correct title) in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania (this is about 80 miles from Perry, County, outside of Philadelphia). Perhaps they could provide some information for you.

Thank you. I'll see what I can find. Although my Elizabeth was from Juniata county. That may be a little far.

My g-g-grandfather was a UB minister and went from PA to KS in 1850-1855. That is all nicely proven. But my grandfather used to say his grandmother was a Quaker, and a cousin had some letters from one of the daughters of that woman describing her death. It says they had a Quaker ceremony. But I can't find any records of her among the Quakers. I know from the g-g-grandfather's Civil War Pension application that he was married in 1845 by a Rev. John Wallis (his spelling). I've just found a reference to a Rev. John Wallace in the UB church for that time period. I wonder if that could be the same minister. I'm beginning to wonder if those early people meant something different when they mentioned Quakers. Does anyone have any comments or suggestions on this?
