This is fascinating, I followed this family a bit and finding that he had Quaker connections is terrific. Finding Quaker records in Virginia was problematic for me. Thank you.

I see by the information given below from Gwen that Nicholas, and his sons NATHANIEL and Joseph NEWLIN are all listed as members (in 1685) of  the Concord Meeting in the book "Two-hundred and twenty-fifth Anniversary of the Concord Meeting of Friends" publihed in 1911, and that any other pages of this book can be accessed on line. Can someone, perhaps Gwen Bjorkman, give me the page(s) link(s) in body text this book that mention or otherwise refer to NATHANIEL NEWLIN, a son of Nicholas? I believe that I am a direct descendant of Nathaniel's, through his daughter RACHEL's marriage to EPHRAIM JACKSON in 1695 at Concord. (Page links for any references in this book to Rachel and Ephraim would also be appreciated.

I far as I can tell William Duff came to Westmoreland County, Virginia, directly from Ireland. But because of his interest in the West River Meeting in Maryland perhaps Duff was in Maryland before Virginia. This is from Duff's Will probated 2 August 1745 in King George County: "Item: I leave to my Loving wife Elizabeth Duff during her natural life all my lands in the Countys of King George and Westmoreland with all my household goods and stock of what kind soever which shall be there at the time of my decease and likewise all the Negroes and Servants which shall be there at the time of my decease, and after her decease, I lend to my kinsmen William Duff of the Colony of Virginia and John Duff of the Kingdom of Ireland and to the Friends of the Monthly Meeting at West River in Maryland called Quakers in Trust that it shall be for the use of such traveling publick Friends as shall come to visit us and have a Meeting among the people here being recommended by this meeting to which they belong as such who are in unity with them and likewise for to produce a guide to conduct them either to Chesterfield or else to the Cliffs in Maryland over the Patuxen River and to pay their ferriages and to keep the Meeting House in repair ( and also to do their endeavor towards keeping good the stock of Negroes upon the said plantations) and what profits shall arise from it more than will repay the charges aforementioned, to be equally divided between my kinsmen William Duff and John Duff and that my kinsman William Duff live upon the said land in the house where I now do and if at any time they shall slight or neglect the publick Friends that come to visit us then my will is that the whole Trust shall be in the Monthly Meeting aforesaid...." Various Websites give Duff's date of arrival in Virginia from 1710 to 1717. I recently found this importation into Westmoreland County: 27 FEB 1705/1706 Westmoreland County Order Book, page 6a: states that "Samuel Duchemen came into Court...requested his right....to claim lands for the importation of several persons....William Duff...ordered a Certificate according to Law..." Could this be our William Duff? Below is the first land purchase that I found for Duff in Westmoreland County which indicates that he was a "taylor". Later land transactions indicate that he was a "planter". 21 MAY 1712 WILLS & DEEDS, pages 34 - 40. "Garrett Welch of Washington Parish, Westmoreland County, planter and Caleb Smith of same, planter, to William Duff of Washington Parish, taylor. Lease and Release for 7000 pounds of tobacco 248 acres....plantation commonly called Hawkins' Old Plantation, in Washington Parish, being part of pattent of 1428 acres granted to Robert Alexander.....by Sir William Berkeley, Knight, late Governor of Virginia, lying on the south side of Rosier's dam between land.....Charles Willis.....Edward Taylor ...Wit: Morrice Corbin, E.

Thomas C. Hill put together the publication "MONTHLY MEETINGS IN NORTH AMERICA - A QUAKER INDEX". Fourth Edition was printed 1997. 481 pages This is probably in many libraries and would help you locate where the meetings were held if you have the name. His address in 1997 was 1800 Star Bank Center, 425 Walnut Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202-3957 for anyone who may be interested in trying to locate a copy for their own use. It's possible there is a later edition by now or maybe he found all the meeting locations. What a tremendous work! I hope he may have copies for your purchase. I haven't been in contact with him since 1998. Good luck "The Constitution is not an instrument for government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government, lest it come to dominate our lives and interests."

I am looking for the Quaker marriage document for Thomas Lightfoot and Susanna Hudson Hatton. They were married 25 Sep 1763, possibly at Cork, Co. Cork, Ireland. They sailed from Cork about November 1764 for PA, USA, the home of Thomas Lightfoot. Thanks, Roger L. Hatton [email protected]

Marilyn, I apologize that my previous message got sent before I had written it. I want to ask you whether your Quaker Clayton family was in Monmouth Co., NJ. I have seen several suppositions about the parents of the twins Elisha and Elijah Clayton and their brothers Noah and Job D. They probably also had a sister named Euphemia. By the time of the Revolution these brothers were not practicing Quakers. I will appreciate any information you might be able to share on this Clayton family.

Thank you Janice, for getting in touch, and for your information. I did not have the court records. I notice that in one entry his name is spelled "Bercquer" and another it is "Bercker". The thought crossed my mind that....what if....Barker was actually an "Americanization" of his original name which has a foreign flavour, if these other spellings carry any grain of truth with them. French, Flemish?....perhaps this is why his background has always been a mystery, although this is also true of many other early English immigrants. Just something to keep in mind.... There were many Protestant dissenters from northern Europe who came early to this area. Another note. I found some early records of nearby NJ mentioning a Samuel Barker, but I believe I have eliminated this man because of dates and movements (he went back to England and perhaps died there).....from the possibility of being "ours". That Samuel Barker was from Derbyshire in England and seemed to be a well-off merchant. I also have Scarlett, Allen and Reynolds and Clayton families amongst my many Quaker lines.

Dear Mr Standing, Thank you very much indeed for the information on Samuel Barker and his family. I had not realized he was actually a member, along with most of his family it appears, of the Old Swedes Church. I am a descendant of Daniel Barker's son Nicholas and Hannah Allen; in fact, I have a copy of an old daguerretype of Nicholas Barker (Jr.), son of John & Mary Osborne Barker, and John was son of Nicholas and Hannah. I have no information at all on Elizabeth Nichols, the wife of Daniel Barker. You say she was of a Quaker family belonging to Center MM. Would you have any more information on this Nichols family? I very much appreciate your help. Best regards, Marilyn L.

This pertains to a mailing dated 2/5/2009 from Marilyn L. Winton. I have re-read my mailing of Sat. 1 Sept. 2001 to the Quaker-Roots web site entitled, "Mary Nichols, also Daniel Barker Family". I believe that it is about as complete an account as I could make today. I believe Samuel Barker was a member of "Old Swedes" Church in Wilmington until the time of his death. My record is that he died in New Castle County, DE on 20 July 1720 and that he was buried at Old Swedes Church on 25 July 1720. At least two of his children were members of Old Swedes Church. Mary Barker, b. 1706, married William Richardson. Anna Barker, married William Hicks. 31 July 1717 Anna and Mary Richardson, (daus. of William and Mary) baptized at home of Samuel Barker. 31 July 1717 William Hicks (son of William and Ann) baptized at home of Samuel Barker. _Old Swedes Church, Wilmington, Delaware, 1713-1799_ I do not believe that there are any references to Samuel Barker in the records of Newark Monthly Meeting of Friends (later Kennett MM). However, there seem to be several references to him in New Castle Court records. I do not know whether there are records that, Daniel Barker and Joseph Barker, sons of Samuel Barker, were members of Friends. However, Daniel Barker married Elizabeth Nichols who appears to have been from a Friends family of Center Meeting in Christiana Hundred. Nicholas Barker, son of Daniel and Elizabeth, married Hannah Allen and became a steadfast member of Friends in North Carolina. The youngest son of Daniel and Elizabeth, John Barker, seems to have been a member of Friends for a time, but on 11 Sept. 1765, while back in the Wilmington, DE area from North Carolina for a season, married Miriam Gregg, daughter of Richard and Ann (Hadley) Gregg, at Old Swedes Church and was promptly disowned from Friends.for marriage out of unity.. ----- Herbert Standing,18022 Bear Creek Road, Earlham, Iowa 50072-8069. **************Who's never won?

I hope this message will arrive correctly at Quaker-Roots this time, now I am registered with my new e-mail! From: [email protected]: [email protected]: Samuel Barker of Christiana Hundred, DEDate: Wed, 4 Feb 2009 21:51:07 -0600 I read with interest, Mr Standing's comments on the Christiana area of New Castle Co., DE and its early history. My Samuel Barker was buried 1705 I think (perhaps 1707) at Old Swedes Church in Wilmington. As his sons and families were all Quakers (Daniel Barker md. _____ Nichols or Nicholson), I have always wondered why he was buried at Old Swedes Church. His wife's name was Agnes, and I always wondered if she could have been Swedish. Samuel Barker came to the colonies in 1682, supposedly. He is thought by many to be the same Samuel Barker as the one baptised in Claverly, Shropshire, England....but I have never seen any proof that this is one and the same man.I have not been able to examine the Monthly Meeting Records for Center MM or Wilmington MM. Can anyone help, who perhaps has further information on this early Samuel Barker? His land was supposed to be at "Barker's Bridge" on Red Clay Creek.Many thanks,Marilyn L.

I have not tracked down the background on this entry yet. I think I might order the microfilm of the Great Baddow registers from the LDS Family History Center (we have one 15 miles away), and see what Page entries I can discover. A marriage to Elizabeth Pease would explain the clause in Abraham Sr.'s will appointing his "Cozen" Thomas Pease as executor. It could well be that the three young boys were raised by a brother of their mother (i.e. Thomas Pease), and his wife. The term "cozen", or cousin, was used very loosely sometimes. But it could also mean that Thomas Pease was a cousin of Abraham's wife, rather than a brother. Perhaps the parish registers will illuminate all this. This is the first ancestor of mine that I have discovered from Essex so it's quite interesting to me. Regards, Marilyn Winton Totten Windows Live™: Keep your life in sync.
