Abigail's maiden name was Moody, according to Sylvanus J. Macy's Genealogy of the Macy Family (1868), p. 129. It shows Joseph Leonard, son of John Leonard and Abigail Moody, born in Chester Co., Pa., Jan. 21, 1765, married Feb. 22, 1787, in Guilford Co., NC, Phebe Macy, daughter of Henry and Sarah (Swain) Macy. Sylvanus is to be praised for including the names of the parents of Macy spouses.

Another I like (that I didn't have nearby when I wrote the other e-mail) is The The Underground Railroad for Kids: From Slavery to Freedom by Mary Kay Carson This one is for older kids.... ages 10 or so. The book includes 21 activities as well (such as Light a Lantern that you can make from a soda can. Joan Benton In a message dated 2/22/2012 8:49:18 A.M.

As you know, February is Black History month. Our children and grandchildren will be learning about the Underground Railroad in school. Two of my favorite books for children that include our Quakers are: Allen Jay and the Underground Railroad It is in paperback by First Avenue Editions (I got mine from Barnes and Noble in the past.... probably available on Amazon.) This is based on a true story. Our Allen Jay wrote a biography. I imagine this story came from that. The other I like is one of the Dover Coloring Books, Dover Publications, Mineola, NY. The Story of the Underground Railroad by Peter F. Copeland. There is a separate page to color about Laura Haviland and another about Levi and Catherine Coffin. The children can learn about a lot of other abolitionists and situations involving the underground railroad. Joan Benton

This isn't exactly what you asked for but I have 3 William Swains: 1527.1609, his son 1567-1630 and his son Richard 1600-1682 who was one of the original famillies of Nantucket. They were from Berkshire UK. Maybe if you start on that end, you could work down to the one you want. ----- Original Message ----- From: quaker-roots-request@rootsweb.com To: quaker-roots@rootsweb.com Sent: Fri, 10 Feb 2012 08:00:48 -0000 (UTC) Subject: QUAKER-ROOTS Digest, Vol 7, Issue 32 Today's Topics: 1.

Hello to the many people with whom I have corresponded over the years about the Quakers of Padgett's Creek Quaker Cemetery, Union County, SC, who came mostly from Bucks County PA. This email also goes my Edmundson friends, since the father, mother, and uncle of Margaret Smith Edmundson Duncan Parham (b 1836 in Bush River Quaker) are interred in Padgett's Creek. I am also sending it to my Pearson connections and Smith, because of the early Pearson/Smith Pennsylvania connections. I have the good news to tell you --- a professional survey of the Padgett's Creek Cemetery is being planned, probably in the next two weeks. Over the past several years, a few of us have been in contact with Union County resident Jack Burnett, Jr., and have been supporting his efforts to keep the weeds and saplings under control at the Cemetery. He reports to us that the one acre plot is in the best condition ever to have a professional survey done. Jack has talked to surveyor Ralph Smith (don't know if he's kin) who has agreed to do the job, probably next week. Ralph will locate and map every named and unnamed stone and every sink hole that Jack (and others) will flag for him. At that time, or sometime soon, we also will take photographs of every stone possible, marked and unmarked. From the map and the photographs, we will be able to create a good report of the cemetery for ourselves, and for the local repositories and societies. Maybe you'll remember that I made a stab at such a report last year from the info that I had and uploaded it for your viewing at : http://askgrannyus.posterous.com/in-progress-padgetts-creek-cemetery-report We will be able to add the professional map, report, and new photos to this ongoing project. I hope that we can all work together to make sure that the stones are mapped, photographed, and protected. We hope for your interest! The financial aspects of this project are in an expanded version of this email, online at: http://askgrannyus.posterous.com/financial-details-good-news-about-padgetts-cr Send me your questions, thoughts, and comments: jrussell2@charter.net I'll try to find answers or responses.

I would like to send a scan of a document that I have in a pile of "stuff" to someone who is interested in the Quaker Dobbins family who would have been found first in Chester County, PA and then later in NC and possibly still later at Salem MM in Henry County, Iowa. Marsha Moses

Wow, thanks for your comprehensive discussion. It was very enlightening. My purpose in asking the question was to possibly determine if I could get some approximation of birth age from the "received on request" entry, ie, if they had to be a certain age to be independently recorded, I'd know they were at least 14, or 21 or whatever at the time. But, as you note, most likely they were just entered separately into the men's meeting records. I appreciate you taking the time to answer. Sharon In a message dated 2/11/2012 7:22:55 P.M.

Sharon Sharon, First, I should say that there can never be rules to cover every situation, and even when rules exist, meeting clerks on the frontier might or might not be aware of them, so every answer about Quaker practice needs to start with a qualifier like "usually". Rules also differed from time to time and place to place. This business of membership transfer can be sliced a number of different ways. First, for the first two hundred plus years of Quakerism, women and men held separate business meetings. If a husband and wife with a number of children moved, I believe the meeting from which they were moving would typically write a single certificate for the whole family. On the receiving end, however, the males might be recorded in the men's minutes and the females in the women's minutes, although I think sometimes small boys got recorded on the women's side. It is only too common for either the men's or women's minutes to be lost, so we sometimes find only half a family in the records that survive. Things get more complex if the parents are not both members. A Quaker who married a non-Quaker would receive a visit from a committee appointed for the purpose, and would be given an opportunity to "condemn" his or her actions. (I don't suppose a man would say he was sorry he married his wife; he was more likely to apologize for how the marriage was accomplished. There's a joke that one groom said to his committee that he couldn't truthfully say he was sorry he married his wife, but he thought he could safely say he wouldn't repeat the offense.) The apology might come right away, and the Quaker spouse would retain membership. Otherwise the Quaker spouse would be "disowned", that is, lose Quaker membership. The apology could come years later, with the former Quaker parent regaining membership. Children born in the meantime would not be members. The apology had to be addressed to the body that did the disowning. If the family had moved in the meantime, letters would go back and forth. The person wishing to regain membership would write to the old meeting to ask forgiveness. The old meeting might ask a meeting nearer the petitioner's new home to appoint a committee to visit on their behalf. That committee would report back to their own meeting which would then write to the old home meeting. If reinstatement was approved at the old meeting, this would often be followed quickly by a transfer of membership to the meeting near the new home. So, in general, a person who is being received on his/her own request or on the request on one or both parents has never been a member before. Anyone who has once been a member has to be received back into the meeting that disowned him/her, and then request a certificate of removal. There are a few relatively rare situations, such as when the old meeting had been laid down, or had gone to the other side of a schism. Then we can sometimes see some improvisation on the part of meetings. My own gg grandfather was disowned by the Wilburite meeting he had belonged to for attending his brother's non-Quaker wedding and for taking part in a fistfight. He went to the Gurneyite meeting down the road and was received as a birthright member with no certificate. It is my impression (not based on any real study, though) that at least until recently, Quaker women who married non-Quakers tended to adopt the faith of their husbands, so more than half of those who regained their membership after being disowned for marrying contrary to discipline were men. There is also the case of the couple who were both Quaker, but who married outside of meeting, by a judge or another denomination's minister, for one reason or another. If she were pregnant, the slowness of the Quaker process might be an issue. In some states first cousins could legally marry but the meeting would not approve it. There were doubtless many other reasons, including the impetuosity of youth. Each member of such a couple would be paid a visit by their own committee, men to men, women to women. Each could decide independently whether to "condemn" his or her own actions, though doubtless most couples conferred. It is also possible for on partner in a marriage that was accomplished according to discipline and in meeting to have transgressed in some other way and been disowned later. Among the non-marriage disciplinary issues, some were almost exclusively male--joining the military, fighting, and running up unmanageable debts to name a few. Other's fell on the two sexes more nearly equally--attending dances, attending non-Quaker weddings, or joining another church for instance. Regarding children, a child born to parents who were both members would be counted a member from birth, and would not lose that membership through a parent's disownment. Children born to couples where one parent was a member and one was not were not automatically members. I think I have read that in some places and times a child's membership depended on the father's status. In the latter part of the 18th century, the Wrightsborough, Georgia, meeting did not know whether to include children with only one Quaker parent, so they appointed a committee to meet with each of them as ask what the child wanted. I don't know whether every such child were asked, or only those over a certain age. I'm also not sure if there was a hard an fast rule regarding which children were included in the family certificate, and which got their own. A child who lived outside the parental home might get a separate certificate whether or not he/she had reached the legal age of adulthood. An adult child who still lived in the parental home might be included on the parent's certificate. On the rare occasion of a mass migration, it is possible that several families might be on a single certificate. It's probably good to say something, too, about what it meant to be "disowned". It simply meant the person was no longer counted a member. Non-members could continue to attend Quaker worship, and families were not required to shun them or to exclude them from inheritance. Non-members could not attend meetings for business, and could not expect financial support from the meeting if they fell on hard times. Well, that's a longer answer to your question than you probably expected. I hope it's helpful nevertheless. -- Dan Treadway P. O.

Quakers were good at documenting families' movements to different locations. However, I've noticed some cases where, for example, the father is received at a new location, then the mother and son, and then a couple other children are independently listed as received on request, sometimes on the same day. I'm wondering if there was a requirement that children above a certain age had to independently request to be received at a new location. Does anyone have any ideas? Sharon

Several of us are looking for a wife of William Swain, born 1785 to Lucinda Lurana Folger and Abner Swain in Nantucket. They moved into Michigan and then NY, I believe. I suspect he was Quaker as his parents and ancestors were. But he is a mystery. Do you all have any records for William? I know that two sons were Hiram and Cornelius. In 1850 he is living with one of these sons Morristown, St Lawrence, NY but that is too late to gather information. Thanks, Sue

JoEllen O'Neal, You have mentioned towns in Greene, Clinton, Fayette and Highland Counties, in all of which there were monthly meetings with records of birth, deaths, marriages and memberships. For example, a search on "Highland County, Ohio" discloses 11 separate monthly meetings, encompassing 35 or more local Quaker congregations in that or nearby counties. https://www.QuakerMeetings.com/Plone/search_display?County=Highland&StateOrP rovince=Ohio My website will give broad "historical data" on the monthly meetings, including links to a few websites with genealogical information.

This listing of burials in Hopewell Quaker Cemetery, Morgan County, Ohio, was sent to me in 1981 by my cousin Alice Dougan of Bolivar, Ohio. She notes that the document is in "Grandfather Jesse's handwriting". She was a great granddaughter of Jesse Dewees whose parents Thomas and Jane Dewees are among those in this list. This is not a reading of gravestones, but a record of burials. Quakers often used unengraved field stones or no stone at all. Not everyone buried here was necessarily a Quaker member. It appears that there were no "family plots". In each row, lowest numbered graves will generally be the earliest, although it is evident a new row was sometimes begun before the previous one was full. This list of burials ends about 1883. It is known there were other burials here later: The names of Persons Buried at Hopewell first row Asenath Griest is first in this row and should be number 1 1 John Stubbs 2 Ruth Patten 3 William Dewees 4 John Dewees 5 Lydia Dewees 6 Sarah Dewees 7 William Wood 8 Moses Metcalf 9 Thomas Dewees 10 Samuel Richardson 11 Wm Walter 12 Rebecca Dewees 13 Jane Dewees 14 Mary Sidwell 15 Hannah Williams Second Row 1 James Embree 2 Rebecca Embree 3 Mary Picket 4 Hannah Embree 5 Thomas Picket 6 Henry Doudna 7 Matilda Embree 8 James Vernon 9 Prudence Williams 10 William Patten 11 Susannah Metcalf 12 Elisha Vernon 13 Elisha Wood 14 Ruben Embree 15 Israel Embree 16 Hannah Embree 17 Caroline Shields Third Row 1 Thomas Mendinghall 2 Jesse Picket 3 William Chandler 4 Henry Yocom 5 Rachel Ratcliff 6 Maria Ratcliff 7 Mary Elizabeth & Eveline Dewees 8 Mahlon Gooding 9 Eliza Chandler 10 Mary Elon Embree 11 Charles Yocom 12 Nathan Yocom 13 Wm E Craft 14 George Chandler 15 James E Vernon 16 Mary Emmaline Yocom 17 and Infant Jos Vernon 18 Annie Picket Fourth Row 1 Hannah Jane Yocom 2 Martha Doudna 3.Margaret McGrew 4 Martha Wood 5 Samuel Ratcliff 6 Sally Bailey 7 Anna Yocom 8 Sarah Ann Ratcliff 9 Phebe Walter 10 Samuel McGrew 11 John Wood 12 Gaynor Parsons 13 Rebecca Tod 14 Alva McGrew Fifth Row 1 Wm Simmeral 2 Mary Llewellyn 3 Jas McGrew 4 Betty Simeral 5 William Llewelyn 6 Mary Wileman 7 William Talbott 8 Benjamin Hough 9 Samuel Yocom 6 Row 1 Wm Simeral (east) 1 Wm Talbott (west) 2 Elizabeth Stubbs 3 Isaac Stubbs 4 Juaian Ball 5 David Ball 6 Julian E Lightfoot 7 Thomas Yocom 8 Rebecca Dewees 9 Joseph Dewees -- Dan Treadway P.
