Cedar Creek Monthly Meeting records are part of the archives of Baltimore Yearly Meeting of Orthodox Friends at Haverford College. Likely explanation for the difficulty finding them is that in 1875 Cedar Creek changed its name to Richmond Monthly Meeting. The records may be catalogued under that name.

While the LANEs could be LEHN, the HAINES could be HOENS/HANES/HAYNES/HAINES. The English family who descend from John HAINES of New Jersey are Quaker in the early generations while several German HANES/HOENS families in PA would be more likely to possibly be Brethren/Mennonite or Lutheran or German Reformed. You don't find TOO many intermarriages at an early date between the English Quaker HAINES descendants and the Germans. If they practiced a PA Dutch/German religion and married and lived within that group--they most likely descend from the German HOENS family of York County, PA or the HANES family of Berks County. I descend from both the New Jersey Quaker HAINES family and the York PA German HOENS family -- but the two lines for many generations married within their own communities and religious groups. Joan

I'm not a Haines descendant. But since we're doing "Haines" today, I'll just toss out my sole link to that family. She was Amyra Haines (b. 1815), dt. of John and Jemima Haines, who married Jason Evans (1807-1876) in 1829. Jason was a younger brother of my third-great grandfather, Thomas Evans (1791-1852). This Haines-Evans marriage occurred in Waynesville, Warren Co., Ohio. I don't know when or where Amyra died. Jason died in Cincinnati, Ohio, and is buried at Spring Grove Cemetery. Mark

Does anyone have a copy of the book: "The Ancestors of Allen Grinnell Cleaver and Martha Irene Jessup--172 Allied Families" I understand there is an extensive listing of the Small family in the book, and I would be interested in knowing what sources are quoted for this work, aside from Hinshaw and Miles White. Also, has anyone ever heard of the "Jessop Charts". I have no idea who the author is, but they are quoted in several books. Jim Small

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. Searches of the complicated LDS and Library of Virginia's website have not turned up any microfilms of the originals. My question, obviously, is whether anyone on the list knows the location of the originals for the Cedar Creek VA MM, or can provide information on the location of a microfilm of same, apologizing in advance for inadequate catalog search skills. This email regards ONLY finding out where the originals of the records or microfilms of them can be located. Best Regards, Janet Hunter

Bill Haines, Hi, For what it is worth I'll offer these Haines. John Haines had a Land Warrant in Washington Co PA - he lost the land in a sherrif sale in 1822 (my ancestor John Lane bought it). Haines I'm told was married to a Repp ? Repp came from Fred Co MD. Bail was also intermarried somehow with Haines family. Bail was also in Fred Co MD. Bail (Bails, Baile, Bailes, Bale, Bales etc) was intermarried later in my Lane family. I don't know what faith John Haines followed. The rest were German Baptists/COB Brethren. Best wishes, Judy

Scolarguy, There is a book at the Handley library in Winchester, VA. titled Richard Haines and his descendents. I only copied a few pages as it refers to my line of Mercer's. But it has also has ties to Matlack's and Smedley's. There should be other copies of it in some of the bigger libraries. Some of the Ref: Richard Haines--Haines Ancestry. Calendar of N. J. Wills.

Scolarguy: Most people start with a check at LDS Ancestoral Files!. www.familysearch.org Latter Day Saints Genealogy site. Start with "SEARCH" by listing an ancestor. I learned from my genealaogy instructor, for the local genealogy society, who was also a worker at the LDS Family History Center that I must "document, Document & DOCUMENT" sources of each ancestor, as you go along! So, I suggest that you go to some LDS FHC and work with some of the volunteers. FHC will either be computeried with Salt Lake City, or will use CD diskettes, both will allow you to print your page. **************** www.gencircles.com GEDCOM sharing site. This website is very good and matches names with other charts placed on GenCircles. It is quite unique! I have used it some over a 2-3 year period; but you may need a little more knowlegde of who is who with your ancestors, at this point.

I have two questions concerning Quaker membership and practices. First question: Both of my great-grandparents were birthright Quakers. Would it be accurate to make the following statement regarding birthright membership: The birthright meant that both parents were members in good standing of the Quaker meeting. By virtue of birthright, a child was a member of the Quaker meeting without any further confession or confirmation on its part. Second question about Quaker practices in the 19th century in the US: Did Quakers believe in baptism by the Holy Spirit and therefore did not observe the sacraments of baptism by water? Did they not observe Holy Communion as found in other Christian churches? Thank you for your comments. Christie Russell

Hi William! Welcome to what I consider is the most exciting facet of genealogy, that is Quaker genealogy. I concur. Check the 1910 Census. If you go to http://www.familysearch.org/ you can find the nearest Family History Center (run by the Mormons) to your location. If you do not already have a subscription the FHC might have an internet computer and have full access to Ancestry.com. Once you find his place of birth you can check the microfiche of "Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy" by Hinshaw. Also you might want to click the link to my website, and check out the section labeled "New to genealogy" which not only has a list of my favorite genealogy links but has helpful tips for new comers. If you want to skip the tips, you can just go to Favorite Links which still has the list. Once again welcome to the group.

My name is William Hugh Haines My father is William Edward Haines My Grandfather was Gilbert Hugh Haines My Great Grandfather was Edward Haines (No middle name) What I know is that my Grandfather was born in 08 and his father was "older" at the time. Family tradition says that my great grandfather was a Quaker and we know that he moved to Minnesota from "the east" sometime before my grandfather was born. He married a Catholic immigrant from Germany and never returned to meeting. My grandfather and his siblings were raised as catholic. They moved to California sometime after the first world war and I am told my great-grandfather never spoke much about his youth. He was a painter and much of his work remains hanging in family members homes. I am the first of my family to return to meeting since my great grandfather. I have been trying to figure out what I can about my family line. When I google the name Haines and Quaker I get a few hits. It also seems that the names William and Edward were common to the family. I have been unable to connect the small line mentioned above to any family back east. I cannot seem to connect my great grandfather William Edward Haines to a Quaker line....I know or at least feel strongly that there must be a connection but I don't know where to look or how to find it.
