A basic Google search: quakers nantucket. Turned up pages of sources, references, & archived queries. Nantucket Historical Society is a super source.

Sue Maxwell: Do a basic SEARCh for "Nantaucket Historical Society" with your favorite search engine. The Library has a lot of Family Research charts. Sorry but this relatively new computer is "Lazy" & not working right or I would get you the URLs. Family charts will be under Mrs. Baraney's Genealogies -- The original copy was handwritten and are beautiful. I have some of the Coffin Family -- these genealogies is to be found in the Library. My husband and I have taken a vacation trip to Massachuttes with our son, Jeff; and I have gone a 2nd time with Jeff. Jeff now owns property there somewhere, but not on Nantuacket proper but rather on Cape Cod & about 2 miles from the ocean.

There are 2 volumes of "Nantucket Quaker Genealogy", Vol. I & Vol. II published in 1990 by Robert J. Leach. They are mimeographed pages of his hand-written notes tracing Nantucket Quaker families. There are many books on Nantucket and it early settlers--such as: "History of Nantucket" by Alexander Starbuck, 1924 "Genealogy of the Macy Family" by Silvanus Macy, 1868 "Nantucket" by William Oliver Stevens 1947 "The Early Settlers of Nantucket 1659-1850" , Lydia S.

While I personally do no genealogy, I recall that searching www.QuakerMeetings.com for Meeting Name "Nantucket" will display references to the full vital records of the Nantucket meetings, which I recall have been published by the New England Historical Society.

All that remains at the site of the original Birch Lake Friends Meeting is the cemetery, which is still used. There is a Friends Meeting in the nearby town of Penn, which was established by Birch Lake Friends. The pastor is Bill Bruneau. You might try contacting him.

Hello , All!   I am in need of some info and  advice....some of my ancestors were active in the Birch Lake MM in Cass cty, MI.   My questions and need for advice- my family has a reunion every year in September- we are in need of a location for this year and I wonder if it would be appropriate to approach whomever owns the property (presuming it is still a church? or similar?) where the mtgs used to be held-- I would like to introduce my family to their ancestors and the proud heritage  and felt that this would be a perfect location--   so--comments? advice? is this a major faux pas???? does anyone know whom I should contact? I am in Ohio. Thank you!

Judy, I am related to the Binns and also have ties to the Carrs, Tuttles, and Underwoods. I also have pages that were takenfrom a family bible that has information regarding the Binns and Carr families. I would love to share more with you regarding what I know. I am assuming that you have seen this thread? http://boards.ancestry.myfamily.com/localities.northam.usa.states.michigan.counties.lenawee/2790.2.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx Have a great day, Brad

After I sent the message below, it occurred to me that members of the Quaker-Roots list might have real genealogy information for Judy Daniel. If so, I suggest you forward it directly to her and copy the Q-R list if you think it implicates others' ancestors. Tom Hill Thomas C. Hill 425 Walnut Street, #1800 Cincinnati, OH 45202 U.S.A. and Charlottesville, VA Note new e-mail address: [email protected] www.QuakerMeetings.com -----Original Message----- From: Tom Hill for MMNA [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 04 March 2009 5:37 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: RE: Email from the QuakerMeetings website Friend Judy (Daniel ?), I do no people genealogy; only "meeting genealogy", which is tracing the life, death and vital records of Quaker meetings. So I cannot comment on individual ancestors you name. That said, I recognize that Adrian Monthly Meeting [MM], now named Raisin Valley MM, in Lenawee County was the parent of several MMs in Adrian Quarterly Meeting [QM] in what is today named Evangelical Friends Church, Eastern Region. Adrian MM may have held the memberships you seek before other Lenawee-County MMs were set off as independent meetings. Adrian QM had several monthly meetings that should have vital records available either in Ann & Conrad Burton's 1989 genealogy book _Michigan Quakers, Abstracts of Fifteen Meetings of The Society Of Friends 1831-1960_ or directly in the original records, many of which were microfilmed by the Mormons and could be reviewed at a Family History Center available at most local LDS churches. In fact, the Burtons' book is available at many libraries and may also be available through the Family History Centers. http://www.worldcat.org/wcpa/oclc/21275648 The meeting details, including LDS microfilm numbers and some Burton page references, are available in my database at: Lenawee County meetings: http://www.quakermeetings.com/search_display?County=Lenawee Lupton MM in Ogemaw County: http://www.quakermeetings.com/meeting_view?anID=TST1074L Rollin MM, including the Addison (originally Woodstock) local meeting: http://www.quakermeetings.com/meeting_view?anID=TST1602L All Adrian QM meetings: http://www.quakermeetings.com/search_display?generalSearchWord=Adrian+Q Tom Thomas C.

They were William Carr 1762 - 1846 dying in Lenawee; his daughter Susanna Carr who married Gideon Lupton and their daughter Sarah who married Joseph Binns and Margaret married Hewitt and they lived at Addison with Levi at Lane (other surnames Ashley, Brownell, Tuttle, Underwood, Newell, Knowles) some at Woodstock and Addison; Priscilla Carr who married Benjamin Talbott including surname Darlington and Sorby); Joshua Carr who perhaps married Charlotte Walker. They were in the Adrian and Rollins Monthly Meetings, I believe. Please advise. Thank you, Judy

I have now finished putting the Birth section of the Society of Friends Register for Pardshaw [TNA RG6 1026] online at: http://www.rumbutter.net/gen-cumb-res-pard-home/ [you will need to register or log in] Pardshaw in Cumberland was one the largest Quaker communities in England, between Swarthmoor to the south and Holm Cultram to the north. This register covers the central area of the community (equivalent approximately to the C of E parishes of Brigham, Dean, Lamplugh and Loweswater). It includes the meeting house/place at Pardshaw and Pardshaw Crag and the burial grounds at Eaglesfield and Greysouthen; but not other meetings. It is the original home for many Quakers who went to Ireland or to the American colonies. The online register consists of images provided by permission of The National Archives. Only some pages have been transcribed [so only those will turn up in the site's search engines], but volunteers who want to transcribe are always welcome. Simply add your transcription as a comment on the relevant page - this will automatically get into the search engine. Rum Butter is my personal blog site. It includes a member-only section about Cumberland (also accessible as http://www.cumberland.info). This is free and non-commercial; but, in order to access the Cumberland contents, you will need to register. Chris Dickinson

He also includes some from meetings just over the line into another state, which were affiliated with Indiana Meetings. In Vol. 5 of his " ....Records of the Society of Friends in Indiana" there is a lot of birth/death/minutes information from Vermillion Meeting, which was located in Vermillion Co, Illinois. He also has info listed in the same volume from Hopewell Meeting, which is in Vermillion Co, Indiana, and from Honey Creek Meeting in Vigo Co, IN. These Meetings, in a small geographical area, seemed to overlap and interact as they were set up, set off, etc. My guess is you would find families that are listed in more than one of these meetings. Hopefully Tom Hill or Dan Treadway will fill us in on why Elwood is not listed in Williard's books of records--maybe it is just because he never found/or was given access to the Elwood Meeting minutes. Some should exist since apparently the Meeting still exists.

I don't know whether this is of interest to you or not, but several years ago I transcribed and posted a deed for the sale of land in Salem County, NJ, which had been owned by Amesley NEWLIN of Chester County, PA, and his wife Elizabeth (nee WOODNUTT) who had inherited the land from her father Preston WOODNUTT.
