Am looking for information on the family of Obadiah Borton, Evesham NJ b. 1708-1761 and his wife Susannah Butcher, 1713-1749. Specifically his son, Samuel. I know that not all Quakers were total pacifists and some supported the Revolutionary war in some manner or the other. Did Samuel? Also, would love to read and have copies of any of the speeches of Obadiah. Hope some one can help me. Thanks for the time and effort.

Thanks for responding, Joanne. I, too, had been wondering what had happened. It is such a great resource for those of us with Quaker ancestors. I there anything any of us can do to help you when you do get back to it? I know it is a big job and time consuming but so much very good information.

The reference below indicates that Benjamin Stedman (1776 - 1853) came from PA (Harfard co?). He spent most of his adult life in Illinois and moved to Texas between 1843-1850. I cannot find Benjamin in PA, but there was at least one Quaker family named Stedman located there. I have essentially no information of value about this family - consequently, I'm asking for help to find more information about a Quaker family named Stedman in PA. Very recently, I've found a Joseph Stedman (wife Elizabeth) who had a daughter Sarah (b. abt 1666) who married Peter Thomas in 1686 "according to Quaker custom", probably in Chester Co., PA. I'm not sure if Joseph came to the US or not. Sarah was born in Walton, Lancashire, England. Sarah and Peter's four children were born in Willistown, PA. Sarah died in Chester, PA. Obviously, their children were not Stedmans, but Peter and Sarah were faithful Quakers. I'm wondering if there were any other Stedmans besides Sarah in this area of PA. If anyone has information that might assist me in locating the origin of Benjamin to a Stedman family of PA Quakers, it would be greatly appreciated. At this point I have no valid evidence of his PA roots except for the 1850 census from Van Zandt, TX.

<<The direct descendants of this courageous pioneer woman are now scattered all across the state, and indeed all across the nation.>> And I'm one of them! Here's what I have: NOTE: from Cane Creek Mother of Meetings page 35-36: John and Abigail Overman Pike were honored in 1928. Both were leaders and "weighty" friends during their lifetimes. After the death of her husband, Abigail Pike left Cane Creek and went to Muddy Creek, near Deep River, to live with her son. She died and was buried there in February of 1781. The cemetery of this meeting still exists on the outskirts of the town of Kernersville in Forsyth County, and the grave which is thought to be Abigail's is outlined in handmade brick. Thus, the marker at Cane Creek honors her memory, not her actual grave." from Cane Creek MM website from Genealogy of the Lee Family from William Lee of Ireland by T.J Morgan, Edna Harvey Joseph, Rosa Lee et al c. 1930: Abigail Overman Pike...was a minister in the Society of friends, and was in the habit of riding out to the Army camps to preach to the soldiers; she was said to be the only minister allowed within the lines, and she was not permitted to dismount, but had to preach from her saddle. Returning one evening with a company of Friends from such a mission, they came to where the road divided, one fork going straight home and the other leading up past the "graveyard;" they were debating which to take; one had remarked that a ghost was to be seen every evening in the graveyard; Abigail whipped up her horse saying, "We will go this way. I have long wanted to see a real ghost, shake hands with it and ask, 'is it well with thee?'" Arriving at the cemetery, sure enough: there it was with arms outstretched; Abigail rode up to it and called back, "Come on Friends, it is only a big cobweb on a bush."

During the eleven years that they lived in the Hopewell community, the number of children increased to eight. When a number of Quakers from Pennsylvania came through the Hopewell community headed toward the Piedmont section of North Carolina, once again John and Abigail Pike felt led to leave their home, and to start life all over again in a new settlement. In a few months a home was built on the bank of Cane Creek. In early 1751 when the youngest and tenth child, Nathan, was almost two, Abigail said to Cane Creek Friends, 'If Rachel Wright will go with me, we will attend Quarterly Meeting at Little River in Perquimans County and ask that a Meeting be set up here.' Friends concurred. Thus it was that these two women rode horseback two hundred miles through the wilderness to Quarterly Meeting, and made the return trip home safely, mission accomplished. Cane Creek Meeting was set up June 31, 1751. Abigail Pike next helped in the establishment of New Garden Meeting, thirty-five miles to the west, through more wilderness country. The direct descendants of this courageous pioneer woman are now scattered all across the state, and indeed all across the nation. The one-room log structure known as "the Abigail Pike house" was used as a classroom in the early days of the Sylvan Academy.

I want to thank the person who sent me the Abigail Overman information. I appreciate it very much. In NC their gravestones call her a "minister" and calls John Pike "Overseer" I had a sister in law who, when I heard the story of Abigail, said that she would have done the same sort of thing. She was a school teacher and Sunday school teacher but she also had that something that I would call fearless. She came down from Abigail. Kay in Tennessee

I am very interested to know more about the trip of Rachel Wright and Abigail Overman who was my husband's ancestress. Kay in Tennessee
Hello to all: A researcher recently gave me information that my Paxson/Paxton ancestors were at Cane Creek at one time. Anne in COLD Fla.([email protected]) The Overmans, Pikes and Stuarts all went to Cane Creek Meeting, NC in the late 1700's. As a matter of fact my ggggg grandmother Rachel Wright and Abigail Overman Pike rode to the coast 200 miles in 1751 to get permission to establish a monthly meeting at Cane Creek. Both sides of my family mostly Allens, Cook's and Wright's came to Cane Creek from Penn. I have tons of information on Cane Creek people. Call me (714-846-1256 or ask for specific ancestory via e-mail. I have both histories and geneologies. I attended the 250 year reunion of Cane Creek in 2001(some 400 cousins were in attendance). I also have the "Allen Family" Descendents of John and Amy Cox Allen with allied lines (some 490 pages with pictures). Lots of Stuarts, Pikes and Overmans in this book.

My husbands ancestress was Elizabeth Pike , a Quaker, who married Alexander Stuart May 17, 1759 in Orange Co., NC Her mother was an Overman. She had a son John Stuart Jan 30 1764 who married Elizabeth Dixon. After Alex died she married John Doane who had been married to Ruth Dixon. Our line is the same one as yours. Ruth Dixon's parents were Thomas Dixon and Hannah Hadley from Pennsylvania. It is amusing for my mother was an Allen from Canada and my grandfather Allen was from Northern Ireland.

Ron, I have no HAWORTHs that I know of in my line of descent. However, Elwood seemed to run in my URIAN family from Delaware cnty, PA. I "believe" it "might" have come down thru Margaret DONAHOE b: c 1857 in possibly New York. She d: c 1905 in Ridley twp, Delaware, PA.
My Reynolds grandparents and great-grandparents were part of a Quaker community called Elwood in eastern IL a little over a century ago, and Izetta (Miller) Reynolds, my uncle's wife, served the Elwood Meeting there (founded 1826, dropped Quaker affiliation 2004) as pastor for several years around 1950. I have always assumed that the popularity of the name Elwood/Ellwood among Friends derived ultimately from their admiration for the early English Quaker Thomas Ellwood. Thomas Ellwood (1639-1713)from Oxfordshire, was a well-educated scholar and author, at one time secretary to the poet Milton, leaving some published poetry himself. Thomas signed the certificate at the April 1672 marriage of Wm. Penn to Gulielma Springett, whose family had employed him as a tutor. Thomas and Mary (Ellis) Ellwood were listed as “gentleman and wife” among the “first purchasers” of Pennsylvania land in l682, receiving 500 acres each for a payment of £10 each, but I do not think they ever came to America. A Friend from 1659, suffering several times for his faith, Thomas Ellwood was chief among the original editors of George Fox's Journal. I do not have any information about Quaker Elwoods/Ellwoods in the generations since, except for a "Quaker brewer" and merchant in Workington, Cumberland, named John Ellwood (1731-1790), son of Jacob and Dinah of Allonby, Cumb., described in a local paper at his death as "one of the most respectable characters that this neighbourhood ever could boast." -- S. Newton in California [Responding to:] Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2008 From: Ron Haworth <[email protected]> Subject: [Q-R] Elwood Name To: [email protected] I am the host of a family web page and recently, a person asked about the name "Elwood". He noted that in our family, the name Elwood was used a number of times. At the same time, he noted that there are a number of meetings with the same name. He asks if meetings are named for a family name? Or, if this is a family tradition of giving a person the name of a meeting? He descends from Charity Haworth and Thomas Elwood Posegate.
