in case this hasn't been seen yet, from Rootsweb Review.... HOLCOMBE: This database has been updated recently with hundreds of names. It contains more than 4,000 descendants of brothers John and Jacob HOLCOMBE who came to Philadelphia in 1700. They were Quakers who came from England with their sister Juliann. John settled in Hunterdon County, New Jersey and accounts for most of the descendants. Sources are annexed to the names. http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=john_holcombe not of my line, just decided to send it in... Cornelia

It was not unusual for Quakers to make bequests in favour of one or other of the Quaker Schools - they made regular appeals to Monthly Meetings around the country - Ackworth was set up (by SoF at the encouragement of Dr John Fothergill) to provide education for those children of Quakers "not in affluence". Although John Thurlow is not recorded as a pupil of Ackworth School he may be connected to one or more of the six Thurlow's who appear in the register - Samuel from Diss (pupil 1784-87), James from Tivitshall (1787-90), Thomas from Westminster (1809-11), Ann from London (1814-16), James from High Wycombe (1836-40) or Sarah also from High Wycombe (1838-41). Often the connection with Ackworth comes via a connection by marriage - could John's wife have been a scholar (school founded 1779) - if you think this possible, her maiden name may appear in the register. Let me know.

I'd be interested in this as well, as many of my female ancestors were not Quakers and some of them after having lived long, apparently Quaker lives, are listed in the digests as "buried (in the Quaker cemetery) by permission, not being Quaker-as were some of thier children. -- Norton Antivirus protected ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sue Christou" <suechristou@tiscali.co.uk> To: <QUAKER-BRITISH-ISLES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 01, 2006 11:47 AM Subject: [Q-B-I] Roll Call > > > > > My Quaker ancestors are very few compared with the rest of you but here > goes:- > > Sarah Gill, born 1800 is my earliest known Quaker ancestor - she was my gt > gt gt grandmother, born in Crawshawbooth, Lancs.

hi, Michael, the connection is pretty exciting for me right now as I have struggled for years to place Peter, and now think I've had his father as two seperate individuals in my tree. Edmond Cross who m. Ann Parkinson Peter Cross who m. Elizabeth Burnham Joseph Cross who m. 1st Mary Mayhew, 2nd, Elizabeth Richards Edmond is Joseph's son, and Peter is a cousin of theirs, Peter is 95% likely to be the grandson of Joseph's grandfather, so a first cousin of Joseph's. I have found that he and another Peter Cross were both born in 1710. one of them disappeared, so it seems, while the other and his family turns up in Colchester, and in the wills of Joseph's family as cousins, nieces and nephews. I descend from Joseph Cross and Elizabeth Richards through thier son, Joseph Jr. who left the faith to marry Hannah Smith, and then removed with his family to the U.S.A. in abt 1842. I have the family tree online at Rootsweb's WorldConnect for you to look at if you wish. I've got a technical hitch in this computer and haven't had (read: made) time to transfer my data to a new computer so my files at Rootsweb's WorldConnect are not as complete as my files on this computer. but there's alot of data there, including Peter not linked yet to my tree and Joseph's ancestry back to 1624-which I now believe goes back to abt 1595 but cannot prove it. you will find my direct ancestry is almost completely without female lines. that's not a choice. the women in my ancestry are, to put it mildly, difficult to find. most are non-conformists (but not Quaker) who married men of Quaker birthright. I didn't have all the dates of schooling for everyone, so thank you for them. the three Waterfall boys I found at Ackworth in the 1881 census. I did know the circumstances for Eliza but can't bring them to mind-it was a standard disease, typhoid, small pox, something of that sort. I'll check further because I had a little blurb about it. her sister had something like a nervous breakdown from it because they were so close. I think it was mentioned either in the Biographical Dictionary of Friends, or in Stanley Fitch's Colchester Quakers-but I wouldn't swear on either of those. it could have come from the Waterfalls, themselves. it's not in my electrinic notes. I could have it in my files, but that will take some time to search. I've abt 19 years worth of research papers, relatively well filed but.... thank you for Lois' address, I can't recall if it was she or one of the Pennington's that I was in contact with. it's been quite a while, a decade or so. my fault, life got in the way. -- Norton Antivirus protected ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael HARGREAVE" <4667@hhmnr.fsnet.co.uk> To: <QUAKER-BRITISH-ISLES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 01, 2006 5:27 AM Subject: Re: [Q-B-I] Roll call > Hi Cornelia > > I am interested in your notes and wonder if you could clarify how Edmond, > Joseph and Peter Cross are connected.

I have only just begun to research the Quaker origins of my CLARKE family. 1. Edward CLARKE (born ??) married 1720 at St. Benet Pauls Wharf London to Ann OXDEN b. St. Paul's Shadwell. Their children Ann, Elizabeth, Esther, Frances, Edward all born between 1722-1744. (There may well be other children as yet not found.) Esther and Frances married brothers, John Beardwell BARNARD and William BARNARD of the BARNARD shipping family of Ipswich, Suffolk. The BARNARD family were heavily involved in Tacket St. Independent Church, Ipswich. Other names associated with this family are NOTCUTT, DANNETT, CONDER. Some of the CLARKES and BARNARDS move to London, Southwark and Deptford areas. 2. Edward CLARKE 1744-1791 married Ann COFFIN 1747-1787 and operated a brewery in Maid Lane, Southwark. Ann was the daughter of William COFFIN a hop merchant of Southwark and Mary CHAPPELL. Their children Elizabeth (m.POWELL), Edward (m. Sarah LINNELL) and Ann were born in Southwark. In "The Beth Book", a semi autobiographical book written by the Victorian novelist Sarah Grand (actually Frances Bellenden CLARKE), it is stated that the CLARKE family were Quakers of East Anglian origin. The fact that Edward CLARKE (1) made affirmation rather than take oath (wills) seems to add weight to this fact. I have not found the birth place of Edward (1) but as 2 of his daughters married BARNARDS from Ipswich it seems possible he was from there too. I would be very grateful for any assistance on how to find information on my CLARKE family Quaker history. Marilyn Sydney, Australia

Michael Thank you for that information. Unfortunately I am still unable to discover his wife (Mary)'s maiden name. I am pretty sure that these names are in my family. I think Samuel was John's older brother, and Thomas was his son, and High Wycombe also fits other family members. I shall check them all out now. That's great Pat Page BC Canada

Liane , We share a # of Quaker ancestors. Will contact you tomorrow. MAry HAines Eavenson- Newton, MA.

My ancestor, John Thurlow, left one hundred pounds to Acworth School in 1839. I would like to know what his connection would have been because he was probably born in Diss, lived in London, and died in Pulham Saint Mary Magdalen, Norfolk regards Pat Page BC Canada

Here is my Roll Call information: SUMMARY: Names: Whalley (Whaley), Laycock, Pratt, Wilson MM: Hardwest (Liverpool), Knaresborough (Yorks), Raisin (US), Adrian (US) Dates: 1679 to 1843 KNOWN: Maria Ann WHALLEY (my gr-gr-grandmother) was born around 1810 in Yorkshire. Amelia WHALLEY, Maria's sister, was born Feb 11, 1815 in Ireland. Maria, Amelia and Maria's husband James JOHNSON came to the US from Liverpool on the ship Hibernia, arriving April 15, 1835 and moved to Michigan. Amelia married James SMITH on Nov 8, 1836 in Tecumseh Twp, Lenawee Co, Michigan. On 1843, 5, 11, Certificate received for Amelia from HARDWEST MM, Liverpool, endorsed to RAISIN [Michigan] MM (which had split off from ADRIAN MM). Maria and Amelia's parents were Jeremiah WHALLEY and Hannah ??. PROBABLE: It is likely that Maria and Amelia's parents were Jeremiah WHALLEY (b. 1789) and Hannah LAYCOCK (b. 1784) of the KNARESBOROUGH MM (Yorks). If so, Jeremiah's parents were Jeremiah Whalley (b. 1748) and Tabitha PRATT, and this Jeremiah Whalley's parents were John Whalley (1708-1789) and Ann WILSON (1710-1775); John Whalley's parents were Jeremy (Jeremiah) Whalley (1679-1754) and Katharine ? (1680-1725). Most of this is from the KNARESBOROUGH MM. Jessica Utts jmutts@ucdavis.edu

Dear All As one of the 66 subscribers, I am keen to help and be helped by as many as I can. I am descended from several lines of Quakers - including Thistlethwaite of Dent, Binns of Keighley, Harris and Lamb of Sibford (Oxon) - all from 17th century Quaker communities and also from the Atkin's of Woodhouse, Sheffield. However the main strand of my researches has been directed towards a study of Quaker families who have been linked through a common experience of education at Quaker Schools. I have a large database of information gathered from secondary sources about families connected with Ackworth School (Pontefract, Yorks) - I would be happy to try and help anyone with queries in this direction and would be particularly pleased to hear of families with Ackworth School connections. For those who are interested in the Quaker Family History Society conference at Woodbrooke (March 18th) - I am the conference organiser and can report, to date, that bookings are already about 30 - please get in touch if you want to know more about it.

Dear List Below are the first of a large number of Quaker families that I am researching. Surname Richards Date from 1733 or earlier Date to 1900 Monthly Meeting (if known) ?Redruth/Marazion Place Redruth, Cornwall. Marazion, Cornwall UK I am looking for records of marriage of the parents of Richard Richards b 1792 Redruth. His marriage record gives them as David and Rebecca Richards of Marazion www.family search IGI list shows a possible family which matches with a marriage date of 23/12/1778 No source given. David Richards b 16/12/1733 ?Redruth parents possibly John Richards and Eleanor Tresadern death confirmed from Quaker records 18/8/1811 aged 78 gardener Marazion Rebecca ?Higman b 1752 ?Redruth, parents John Higman and Austel? No source given death confirmed from Quaker records 15/9/1805 aged 53 wife of David Surname Edmonds Date from 1750 Date to 1850 Monthly Meeting (if known) ? Falmouth ?Redruth Place Falmouth, Cornwall, UK I am looking for records of the parents of Mary Edmonds shown as Henry and Sarah Edmonds of Falmouth when she married Richard Richards in 1821. They may have lived in Redruth The IGI provides Henry Edmonds married Redruth 16/4/1793 to Sarah Dennis as parents of Mary Edmonds christened 13/2/1794 so they may not have been Quakers if this is them. Richard and Mary Richards named their daughters Rebecca, Mary Nastel, Sarah, Eleanor and Catherine so wondered if in fact the Wife of John Higman might in fact have been Nastel not Austel.(This is pure speculation at the moment) They have used both g-grandmothers and grandmothers names Any help in finding records of these people would be much appreciated Brylin Highton Dunedin NZ

I descend from the relatively large Quaker CROSS family of Woodbridge and Walton, Suffolk and of Colchester, Essex, however, they covered more names and areas than I've just listed. as mentioned in earlier posts, the Cross's entered the Quaker faith in 1655, and remained in it until at least the early 1800's. I can find some of them right up to 1837 at Colchester Meeting. I have no access to later digests or records, so the later individuals are often unknown as to which faith the followed. I have Quakers, Independants, Wesleyan Methodists and CofE's in my tree. and the non-practicer's who appear out of no-where in one or another church, presumably after being slapped with a heavy fine for not attending church. I had started to post all the members of the tree back when QBI was new to me (50 members back then, no idea how many now) and it had just been mentioned in the Rootsweb's Review, but got too busy to complete it. still very busy, but in need of a well earned break, so will try to get my name list out-in about 3 postings. it's rather long. one problem. some of these people may not be Quaker. I'm trying very hard to weed them out of this post. I do know they married into my Cross family in England, or were born into the tree with a Quaker birthright, or joined the Quaker faith early on, depending on whom we are discussing.... one instance is that some of the later lines of the Harris family left the faith, as did some of the later lines of Cross's. so it's a bit difficult to sort the members from the non-members. if I accidently put some non-Quakers in the list, it is from a lack of knowledge of when a specific individual left the faith. I do not have the digests or records at hand. there may be errors in spelling of places and occasional errors in spellings of names. corrections are appreciated. ALEXANDER-place not yet known m.

Surrey? her parents lived in all three places. it's not that I have more on the Harris's, though maybe I have a bit more, but the Cross's stayed put a bit more than the Harris's. but also the Harris's bred more viably than the Cross's. more of the Harris's survived and more of them married compared to the Cross's. I don't have a clue why, though better food and hygene for the early survivors makes sense. the Harris's were upper class and the Cross's were middle class, so that could explain the difference to some effect. as you can see, my tree is large-but by no means complete. a lot of it wanders overseas (from a British point of view), but I've left those out as requested, as well as any known non-Quaker lines. the ones listed above born in Ireland and in India married in England (with one or two exceptions in India) into my tree but I have to admit that I don't know if they were Quaker. there are many who weren't Quaker when they married to someone with a Quaker birthright, but either became Quaker or became accepted within the meeting at a later time. so the line is drawn very fine for me in some areas. difficult to decide whether they belong in the list, better to include them than leave them out, I think. please contact me if you think there may be a connection. I'm happy to share. regards, Cornelia
