I know that volume one came out in 1996 and volume two came out in 1999. What are the future plans for additional volumes? Sincerely, Jean Leeper [email protected] or [email protected] http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jeanlee LQM: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ialqm/index.htm Cedar Creek Book Update Page: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jeanlee/ccfbook.htm Cedar Creek Cemetery picts: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jeanlee/ccrestore.htm

I am trying to locate any information I can on my Grandfather, John L. Garwood. My Grandfather was born in Camden , NJ in 1836, and he died in Bremond, TX in 1936. I have information on him after 1870 in Texas, but I have not been able to link him back to any Garwood Quaker line in the NJ or PA area however. If I am correct, Camden was under Gloucester County N.J. during that time.   John L. Garwood's father, my Great Grandfather, is listed only as H. L. Garwood on John L. Garwood's death certificate. I have been unable to locate H.L. Garwood in any of the usual family tree searches or in any of the census data. The Garwood name does not appear in the usual vital statistics searches for the 1700s and 1800s, as you would expect from a Quaker family name. The only census information I have found that may be John L. Garwood is found in the 1850 census for Burlington County . A John, Martha, and Josiah Garwood are listed as living in the household of Lewis Tabler. His age is listed as 12, however, which is about two years off. I have reason to suspect that this John Garwood may be my Grandfather because of a family legend. The legend, often repeated by my father, also a John L. Garwood, tells that my Grandfather had been living with another family when he was a boy and that the head of the household severely abused my Grandfather repeatedly. One day, the legends goes, my Grandfather, while still a boy, took a shotgun and shot the man and then ran away. Lewis Tabler disappears after the 1850 census, and John L. Garwood, does not appear in any census until 1870 in Texas .   I have learned from a Texas newspaper article on my Grandfather when he was in his late 90s, that he lived for a time in Pennsylvania before he migrated to Texas . John L. Garwood does not appear in the 1860 census for all of NJ and PA. The 1840 census of course only lists heads of households, so I can't trace John L. Garwood to any household, and there is no H.L. Garwood listed as a head of household in the 1840 census.   I would appreciate any information that may help. I am a newbie to the world of genealogy, and I have just been stumbling along so far. I live in Florida, so I do not have access to the genealogical resources of the Camden area or any of the main Quaker repositories.    Basically, I am trying to link my Grandfather, John L. Garwood, to some branch of the Garwoods in the NJ/PA area.   Additional background: John L. Garwood (my grandfather) was married to Martha Elizabeth Heath on October 10, 1866, in Texas. He was also married to Mary S. Nugent (my grandmother) on May 4, 1890, also in Texas. My father, John L. Garwood, was born in 1894, in Houston Heights, TX.  My father also had a younger sister, Lara, or Laura Lee Garwood, who died when she was still a girl. Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It was William Townsend, son of John Townsend and Elvira Cain Townsend. His date of birth was Apr 10, 1795, and died 29 Feb, 1848. William and Lydia were married after 1838, but most likely in Indiana. I don't think they had any children; at least, according to my sources there are no reported children. William Townsend was the brother of my ancestor, James Townsend who married Rosanna Smith. William married in 1816 at the White Water MM in Indiana, first, Elizabeth Morrow whose dob was 1795 and died 1838. William and Elizabeth had two sons: Eli Townsend and John Morrow Townsend. I would like to know more about Lydia Wickersham's marriage to Jonathan Trueblood. Kim Townsend Spangrude Ask yourself if you have more than others. Then ask yourself, "What would I give if they were my family?". Then, give; because they are.

I recently was given an old sack full of poems and misc documents of Richard F. Hodson b. 1869, Henry County, Iowa. His grandparents would have been Jonathan Tureblood and Christina Hoggart(Hockett). Jonathan's second wife was a Lydia W. Townsend maiden name of Wickersham and she came to Iowa from Milford MM in Indiana in 1851, it appears by herself. I am seeking anything about her first husband, ? Townsend, and her children by that first husband. Also any information about Jonathan's children and grandchildren. Hopefully I have provided some new information also for family members. Note: Jonathan Trueblood was the oldest brother of my gg grandfather, Matthew Trueblood.

Hello,   There are two properties in historic Burlington, New Jersey, that have a long and ongoing Quaker Roots history.   The first is a 1690s brew house, with a 1770 Georgian home built over it.  Here is a link on the National Trust For Historic Preservation's PRESERVATION 911 website... http://www.preservationnation.org/magazine/911/oldest-brewery-building.html   The other is an early 18th century storefront with a delightfully rambling and remarkably spacious living space above, next to and sharing the grounds with the 1780s Burlington Meeting House, which replaced the 1680s Burlington Meeting House.  Here is a search on Philadelphia Craigslist that should bring it up...   http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/search/rea?query=quaker+meeting&minAsk=min&maxAsk=max&bedrooms=   I turn to the network that is Quaker Roots and ask you to share this around with anyone who may be interested.  Thanks!   Todd B.

This refers to a mailing of 12/21/2008 from Sheri Mahnke to which Tom Hamm made comments on 12/22/2008. I believe that I had correspondence with Sheri Mahnke many years ago concerning the family of George W. Smith, but it is difficult for me to find a copy of this correspondence. The records which I have indicate that George W. Smith was a son of James and Atlantic ( ) Smith, and that he was born the 4th of 11th month 1810 in Hillsborough, Ohio. I believe that it is difficult to find data concerning James and Atlantic Smith. The records of Fairfax Monthly Meeting, Indiana indicate that on 9 mo. 20, 1832 George W. Smith condemned his marriage out of unity. This was evidently his marriage to Mary A. Bonsal b. 5--12-1809, d. 1-25-1860. This would indicate that Mary A. Bonsal was either not a member of Friends at this time, or that the couple were both members of Friends but had been married by a clergyman or justice of the peace, not desiring to go through the Friends marriage procedure. At that time, Fairfield Monthly Meeting consisted of several worship groups or Preparative Meetings. Many of the early members of Bear Creek Friends Meeting in Iowa came from the Easton Preparative Meeting in West Newton, Marion County, Indiana. There is a record that George Smith was granted a certificate from Fairfield MM, Indiana to Pleasant Plain MM, Iowa on 9 mo. 18, 1847. This does not mean that he moved to the immediate community of Pleasant Plain, IA. Pleasant Plain MM received certificates for many Friends settling in south central Iowa at that time, since Monthly Meetings had yet been organized in the south central region. I do not have ready access to the Hinshaw and Heiss abstracts of Friends Monthly Meetings, and I do not know whether there are records of other members of the Bonsall family settling as Friends in the Midwest. I do know, from my work in abstracting the earlier records of the Wilmington Monthly Meeting in northern Delaware, that therer was a numerous family of Bonsalls who seem to have been centered in Darby, Pennsylvania, in present day Delaware County, PA, outside of Philadelphia. A number of therm drifted down to nearby Wilmington, Delaware to engage in the trade of that town. There probably are genealogies of this family. Some were related to the prominent Lea family. The records of Darby Monthly Meeting have been preserved, and I believe I have seen abstracts of these records, but I do not know if they have been widely published. Mary Ann "Polly" Mendenhall was a daughter or Richard Mendenhall and his wife, Elizabeth "Betsy" Barnett. Previous to her marriage to George W. Smith on 2 mo. 25, 1863 she had been married to Edward Walton, Jr., who died in 1857 in Iowa. Besides a son, Joseph, who died in infancy, they had two daughters, Elizabeth Ann who married Elkanah Cook and Deborah, who married Calvin Mendenhall. - Herbert Standing, Earlham, Iowa. **************One site keeps you connected to all your email: AOL Mail, Gmail, and Yahoo Mail.

All is forgiven, Bob. I once lived in Texas, so I know how it is there. (Your harmless little Ima-Ura story is dwarfed by the whoppers still being told at the Alamo.) ...it teaches me the lesson that biographical "facts" should be checked before they are repeated, since there is a good chance that they may only be "factoids."

Hello all, I'm wearing my quaker-roots list manager hat for a few moments. I was hoping the Hogg thread would die a natural death. So far that's not happened. The subject of this email list is Quaker genealogy, and all posts to this list should be related to that subject. On a list with a dozen members, some side chatter is of little consequence. This list presently has 858 members, so a bit more discipline is necessary. (One comment from each list member here would result in nearly three quarters of a million messages!) We now return to our regularly scheduled programming, Quaker genealogy! -- Dan Treadway P. O. Box 72 Gilbert IA 50105 [email protected] http://showcase.netins.net/web/treadway/

Bob, I believe the first I heard of Ima Hogg around 1945. The story of her supposed sister was told me by an uncle who did not mind embellishing a little fact with fiction. He should have known better. He was born around Tyler Texas and his father and grandfather were involved in Texas politics before the family moved to Oklahoma .

I have lots of relatives in Highland County, Ohio, so I'm interested.

Contrary to many fanciful stories, Miss Ima Hogg did not have a sister named Ura, or Eura, or anything of the sort. She had no sisters at all, only brothers. Ima, who was born in 1882 in Mineola, Texas, was the second of four children. Her brothers were named William, Michael and Thomas. Miss Hogg was a talented pianist, a patron of the arts, a preservationist and a philanthropist. Although her father, James Hogg, had been Governor of Texas, Ima herself was not particularly active in politics. She did once run for the Houston school board, so that the board would include two women. She was elected, but chose not to run for a second term. An auditorium for the performing arts on the University of Texas campus is named for Miss Hogg. She has been honored throughout the state, both before and after her death in 1975. It might have made for a better story if Ima Hogg had had a sister and had been a mentor to LBJ, but neither is true. Ima Hogg owned a valuable high chest of drawers that once belonged to Joseph Wharton, Sr. of Philadelphia. Wharton was a Quaker. The piece of furniture was among the items Miss Hogg donated to the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. As far as I know, Miss Hogg had no Quaker ancestors, but I do. I'm descended from John Morton, a Quaker who was born in Chester, Pennsylvania, in 1724. Ima Hogg certainly did have an unusual name.
