My third great grandfather, Arnold Briggs and his family were Quakers. They met in his home in Smyrna, Chenango Co. NY during the 1820s and 1830s. They are listed in the 1828 Quaker Census. I can find nothing more about them, and am trying to verify his wife's maiden name, which I can find no place other than her given name of Olive. I have a suspicion that her name was MOREY or MOWRY. Can you confirm or deny, or give me an address where I might check? Eloise BRIGGS/LAFFERTY

I'm trying to trace my MAXWELL family using what I know about their Quaker friends and relatives. Quaker immigration records show that Irish Quakers Thomas MILHOUS and family came to PA in 1729 and that his brother, Robert MILHOUS and family came to Kershaw County,SC in 1750. My non-Quaker William MAXWELL (d. 1796, SC) married Robert's granddaughter, Abigail Milhous (no dates). Her parents, John and Abigail (SLEE) seem to have come to SC with Robert's group. (John mentions Abigail and William in his will written in 1792, SC.) Some of the PA Quakers of Thomas' group, maybe even their friends, came down to SC to join Robert and his group. Other Quakers coming directly to SC from Ireland were Samuel Wyly, Josiah Tomlinson, Samuel Russell, John Wyly and Timothy Kelly. My MAXWELL family may have come to SC with Robert's group but then they could have come from PA with some of Thomas' group. Can you advise? Give resources?

This is the Orthodox Fall Creek Meeting, which was located near Huntsville. It was short-lived--set up in 1832, it was dissolved about 1838.

Hello Everyone, There have been several "transcriptions", "abstracts" of portions or all of supposedly in-existence original Cedar Creek MM records. Cedar Creek at various times encompassed what is now a huge portion of VA. Recent research and DNA results have questioned the accuracy of these transcriptions, particularly those in Hinshaw's Virginia Volume.

I have an Iowa connection to the Maxson surname. Although I haven't followed the Maxson line, the recent exchange regarding the Maxson connection to abolitionist John Brown has me curious about some of my other family relationships. My "Maxson" connection is: William Orlando Crumb (1838-1899) & Hannah Jane Claypool (1840-1921) William & Hannah's son, George Crumb married Mabel Niles George & Mabel's daughter, Daisy Mae Crumb married Harry F. Maxson, born 1892 in Marble Rock. Died 1924 in West Union. There are two issues which spark my curiosity 1) Hannah's obituary states that she was "raised a Quaker but was for many years a faithful member of the M.E. church at Marble Rock." I have not been able to locate records to substantiate that Hannah's family was Quaker. Her father died when she was very young and her mother remarried. I suspect that if Hannah was raised Quaker it would have been her mother's religion. Hannah's mother was Sarah Jane (Hall) Claypool-Barnes. Unfortunately, I've been unable to connect Sarah Jane to parents but census records indicate she was born in North Carolina. I've reviewed the North Carolina records located at Earlham College and was unsuccessful in finding a likely candidate family. The Hall family would have arrived in Berrien Co., Michigan or St. Joseph Co., Indiana prior to August 1839. 2) William and Hannah Jane (Claypool) Crumb left La Porte Co., Indiana in 1862 to relocate in Marble Rock. In 1868 Hannah's brother, William Claypool, married (Miami) Philena Perham in Berrien Co., Michigan. A news article about Philena Perham on January 2, 1928 states, in part, "This Berrien Pioneer Lived in John Brown's Tannery" . This article and also her obituary go on to say that "when she was aged two (about 1851) the family moved from Ashtabula Co., OH to Richland, Pa., where they lived for a time in a tannery, belonging to John Brown, the famous abolitionist." I've been unable to locate information on this Perham line prior to their arrival in Berrien Co., Michigan. Alternate name spellings have also been unsuccessful. I once found a reference to a Perham family "being warned out of town" in connection to anti-slavery activities but could not make a direct connection to "my" Perham(s). With the reference to my family line living in John Brown's tannery and ! Hannah being raised Quaker, I've been curious about possible involvement in the abolitionist movement. I've had no previous indication that my Claypool family knew the Perham family prior to William & Philena's marriage in 1868. Now with this Maxson-Iowa-John Brown exchange of information, I'm wondering whether there might have been some association through the anti-slavery movement. I apologize for the lengthy explanation, but it's a complex web which I thought required some detail be given. If anyone on the list has information or suggestions regarding any area of my dilemma, I'd be pleased to hear from you. Thank You. Donna Nelson

Based on what I can see in the Springdale MM (Iowa) extracts, William and Delilah Maxson were not members. I don't find any Maxsons in Salem Iowa records either. (Salem was Red Cedar/Springdale's parent meeting.) That's not to say they didn't worship with Quakers. Springdale was very new in 1850, and there may not have been another place of worship nearby. I'm interested in the descendants of their son Elza, who married Maria Todd. I'm going to guess that Delilah is really buried at Springdale. Here's the logic: if she were buried in West Liberty, there would be no stone for her in Springdale. Quaker burial grounds in the early 19th century would not have had family plots--whoever died next went in the next grave. I strongly suspect early burials at Springdale followed this pattern. Brown's visit to Springdale was several years after Delilah's death, so the spot next to her would have long been full by the time William died. The Maxson house where Brown's men trained is about two miles north and east of the Springdale cemetery. According to <http://www.rootsweb.com/~iamusca2/oridge_m.htm>, William did not die until 1877. By then he was more than 70 years old, so might have moved from the farm to town. This site gives some details of life in early Springdale <http://www.wvculture.org/history/jb5.html>. -- Dan Treadway P O Box 72 Gilbert IA 50105 treadway@netins.net http://showcase.netins.net/web/treadway/ -----Original Message----- From: Leslie W.
