I have abstracts of some of the Indiana records you may want on the Henbys. Referring to the Heiss Abstracts of the Society of Friends in Indiana, vol. 4, I find the families of two of the children of John and Mary Henby listed in detail in the birth/death records at Milford Monthly Meeting in Wayne County. The families detailed are Eli, with wife Gulielma (Bell) and six children, and Elias, with wife Phebe (Symons) and five children, and 2nd wife Elizabeth (Henby). The minutes of Milford list: William, Eli & Elias rocf Suttons Creek MM, NC 5-28-1836. Elias' marriage to Phebe Symons is recorded 2-28-1838. 5-25-1839 Elias & w Phebe gct Walnut Ridge MM, Ind. 1-28-1846 Eli's marriage to Gulielma Bell is recorded. 4-26-1856 Elias & ch Martha Ann, John, Sarah, Phebe E & Elizabeth W rocf Walnut Ridge MM, Ind 2-28-1857 Elias gct Walnut Ridge to m Elizabeth T Henby 10-24-1857 Elizabeth T rocf Walnut Ridge MM, Ind 2-22-1879 Elias & w Elizabeth gct Wabash MM, Ind I can copy pages with a little more detail if you need them. The marriage entries list the parents of the couples, and the birth/death listings give dates for Eli's children. I also omitted a couple of the minutes that were misconduct reports on children of Eli or Elias. Under Duck Creek Monthly Meeting (Greensboro, Henry County), I find this listing: 6-25-1835 Mary (w of John decd of NC) & her minor ch John, Sarah, Ephraim B, Martha, Mary & William rocf Suttons Creek MM, N C (Her older ch settled in Milford MM, & were, Willis, Eli & Elias Henby) (It appears that Mary was a dt of John & Lydia (White) Bogue) Under Walnut Ridge MM (near Carthage, Rush County), I find the following: Another family group listing for Elias Henby. This listing records three marriages, the first to Phebe Symons, the second to Elizabeth White, dt Bethuel C & Hannah (Binford), and the third to Elizabeth L (Henley), dt Elias & Judith. This listing also records a daughter, Elizabeth, from the second marriage, which was not listed at Milford. Family group listing for Mary (Bogue) Henby, transcribed in full: (John, decd of N Car) Mary (Bogue) Ch: (to Ind) Willis Eli Elias, b 2-27-1813 N Car John Jr. Sarah (m - - - - Layman) Ephraim B Martha (m - - - - Coble) Mary, b. 1-6-1831 William B, b 5-18-1833 There is also a family group listing for a John K, b 3-8-1840, s Elijah & Elizabeth (no obvious relation) There is a family group listing for William B, which follows: William B, b 5-18-1833 Parquimans Co, N Car, s John, decd & Mary (Bogue) m 1st Katharine J (Brooks) b 9-28-1839, Rush Co, Ind, dt Robert & Ellen, d 1-25-1879 Ch: Annie, b 5-17-1865 Mary Ellen, b 2-11-1867 Charles, b 5-27-1869 Jennie M, b 10-14-1871 Lydia A, b 10-11-1874, d 3-31-1878, bur Walnut Ridge Mtg Nora C, b 11-30-1878 m 2nd Mary Emily (Hill) There are several minute entries at Walnut Ridge for the Henbys. You may already have this info. It appears they were also members at Westland MM in western Hancock County for a time (this is not many miles from Walnut Ridge). Westland is not in my volume of the Heiss, but the full Heiss set is available in many genealogical libraries and there are also other persons on this list who have the full set, so if you need help pursuing this angle you might try posting again.

In the 1880s, Louis Taber wrote a series of articles in the FRIEND (Phila.) about the Quakers of Starksboro, Vt. In a short biography of Hannah (Hoag) Battey, in the FRIEND (3 m. 6, 1886): 243-244, he notes: "Narcissa Battey, Hannah's daughter, and Joseph Hoag's granddaughter, . . . married a young man who was a member of the "Smaller Body" in New England. Starksboro Monthly Meeting received from him a certificate in order for the marriage; and gave her in return a removal certificate. For this act of insubordination, Ferrisburg Quarterly Meeting attempted to lay Starksboro Monthly Meeting down. The result was a division. "Not very long after the division, the most of the more conservative Friends removed and settled in and near Hesper, Iowa, and held a meeting. And pretty soon afterward, their old friends and neighbors removed, and settled amongst them, and held another meeting." In another article in the FRIEND (3 m. 21, 1885): 259-260, about Vermont minister Amos Battey, Taber notes: "Sometime after the division in Ferrisburg Quarter, he and his friends removed to Hesper, Iowa. Those composing the other branch [Gurneyite] also removed and settled amongst them, and Starksboro Monthly Meeting was laid down." Hesper is in Winneshiek Co., Iowa. Louis Jones, THE QUAKERS OF IOWA, pp, 70-72, notes that Friends first settled in Winneshiek Co. Iowa, in 1853. In 1855, Salem Quarter (Iowa) of Indiana YM (Gurneyite) set up Winneshiek MM with two preparative Meetings Winneshiek and Springwater. But Jones makes no mention of a Wilburite meeting at Hesper. Does anyone have any information about the Wilburite Friends at Hesper? Farewell, Edsel Burdge Jr.

Philadelphia Monthly Meeting for the Western District merged into Philadelphia MM Hicksite and the merged meeting became Central Philadelphia MM. http://www.quakermeetings.com/viewRecord_display?anID=TST1432L [single-line URL] That seems the most likely meeting for your search. There was also a Baltimore, Western District http://www.quakermeetings.com/search_display?MeetingName=western+distric t&County=&StateOrProvince=&generalSearchWord= , but both branches changed their name long after the separation. If your family's transfers were to Orthodox meetings like Philadelphia, Western District and you later need to check Baltimore, I suggest you start with Homewood. Tom Thomas C.

Hello Listers; I am interested in the NORCROSS family and their relationship to the PENN family. William Norcross resided in Alston-cum-Hothersall, Ribchester Parish, Lancashire, England. He emigrated in May 1699, with other Quakers on the ship 'Britannia" to America. He intended to settle in Bensalem Township, Bucks County, PA, but apparently died on he way or shortly after arriving, as the ship was infested with smallpox. He left four children: John, Jane, William and Thomas. They and his wife, Elizabeth, lived on land given to them by Leonard Fells: 500 acres in Bensalem Township. His will gave 60 acres to each of his children and the balance to his wife. If she remarried she was to receive 40 pounds and the balance was to be divided among his children. The will was witnessed by Richard Smith, Gabriel Barnes and Jonathan Cowper. The son John (b. 1690) married Mary Antrim (b. 1692) of Springfield Twp., Burlington, NJ. They had six children: Elizabeth, John, Joseph, Mary, Frances and William. John Died in Burlington County, NJ. His son William Norcross (1724-1773) married Tamar Hough (1722-1774) and had 11 children: Bathsheba, Uriah, Susannah, John, Mary, Mercy, Ruth Tamar, Rachel, Samuel, Bernice and George. New Jersey Genesis vol 13 page 570 #4 (July 1966): As early as March 1759 William NORCROSS from Burlington County, settled in old Gloucester Township, Gloucester County, NJ. He located a survey of land and had it recorded in the Surveyor Generals Office at Burlington, West Jersey, on 6 Feb 1761. The site of this farm is about two miles southwest of Tansboro, in Winslow Township, Camden County, NJ. William built a frame meeting house on his land for use by members of the Society of Friends and adjourning it, he set aside ground for a burying place for himself and his family. It eventually became a neighborhood cemetery and has long been called New Hopewell Cemetery. This does not seem to have been an approved meeting. Ruth Tamar Norcross (1756-1837) married Thomas Penn (1751-1831). They are buried in the above mentioned cemetery. He was the son of Elizabeth Judith Alloway and James Penn Sr., who married 3 Nov 1749 at Northampton Friends Meeting, Mt. Holly NJ. James Penn Sr. is believed to be the son of William James Penn (b. ca 1704), of whom little is known. If anyone has additional information on alliances between these families, please let me know. I am trying to establish the parentage of James Penn Sr. Thanks, Carol T.

I have not visited the Westland meeting properties in Washington County, but here is the link to my Monthly Meetings in North America site: http://www.quakermeetings.com/search_display?MeetingName=&County=washing &StateOrProvince=Penn&generalSearchWord= [one-line link]. This will lead you to the official records in storage as well as to the LDS microfilm available through any Family History Center. The Westland Monthly Meeting and the Redstone Quarterly Meeting dealt with a high volume of membership transfers into the Northwest Territory 1790-1810, but the meetings were weakened by the 1828-29 Great Separation and then the Wilburite separation and all laid down toward the end of the Civil War.

For others who might wonder this book is different that the Miles White book, "Early Quaker Records in Virginia." The southeast book was compiled by Martha A. Putnam and includes some records from Blackwater MM, Chuckatuck MM, Pagan Creek and Western Branch. Burnis Argo

I have been doing research on the ancestors of Thomas Morgan & Ann Ogan. At this point I am thoroughly confused. I have found one family tree which gives Thomas Morgan b. abt 1745 in Frederick, VA and Nancy b. abt. 1749 in Frederick, VA as his parents. His grandparents were given as Thomas Morgan b abt. 1715 in Wales or VA and Johanna Jackson b. abt 1713 in VA. However, The History of Warren County, OH by Beers quotes from p. 1011 Massie Township states that "William Mrogan, farmer; P.O. Harveysburg; born in Greene Co., Ohio, Nov. 26, 1816; is a son of Thomas and Ann (Ogan) Morgan he is a native of Pennsylvania, and she, it is believed, of Virginia. The grandfather, Thomas Morgan, was a native of Wales, and the grandmother of Ireland." I wondered if the History of Warren Co. was referring to the great grandfather, Thomas Morgan b. abt. 1715 In Wales and married Johanna Jackson b. abt 1713 in VA. However, this cannot be the case since it says the grandmother was born in Ireland. William was a devout Quaker according to the biography. He is the brother of John Morgan who migrated to Iowa and is buried in Earlham Cemetery, Madison Co., IA. John is the great, great grandfather of my husband. One person told me to be careful researching Thomas Morgan in Frederick Co., VA -- I might get the wrong one. That our Thomas married Lettice. A little research today revealed that the children of their son, Thomas Morgan, did not match those of our line. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Hi Jim. I am a descendant of John and Alce Hollowell through their son Benjamin (then through his daughter Sarah who married Thomas Jessup.) While researching in Salt Lake City I found a book of Craven Co, NC Deed and Will Abstracts (1745-1757, Book 5) which had Benjamin's will included. While it looks to be pretty complete if it is one of the abstracts you mentioned with errors I would appreciate a copy of the one you have for my records. I checked the information I have collected on the Smalls to see if by chance I had copied anything on the other Smalls you mentioned. Apparently not. Most of what I have comes from secondhand sources which I have not as yet had time to check, except I do have a copy of "Early Quaker Records of Southeast Virginia" which I would be happy to do look-ups in.. It has been a few years since I have worked on this line but I seem to recall there is some confusion between 2 Benjamin Smalls, uncle and nephew or some such, one married to a Mary Knight and one to and Elizabeth Belson. Has this been sorted out? I just began going through the "Early Quaker Records etc." book and have become confused again. And I notice I have many notes in my genealogy program to "get busy on this problem". I notice in the Will abstract I have, Benjamin's wife is listed as "Meriam" and they do have a son named John KNIGHT Small. So assume this is the Benjamin married to "Mary"? Also my Sarah Jessop is listed as a daughter. Yet in my genealogy program I seem to have Elizabeth Belson listed as a possible wife for this Benjamin. Apparently I am in need of some help here. This is probably why I gave up last time. Burnis Argo

I'm descended from Tamer Comer (1743-1835), daughter of Robert and Rebecca (Houghton) Comer, who married David Kenworthy (1745-1835), probably about 1767. Both the Comers and the Kenworthys originated in Pennsylvania, but were in Randolph County, N.C., when David and Tamer's first child, Jesse Kenworthy (1768-1858) was born there. (Jesse is my ancestor.) My guess is that your William Comer is probably a descendant of one of Tamer's brothers: Joseph (1735/6-1779) who married Elizabeth Hussey and died at Holly Springs, Wake Co., N.C.; John (1738-1815), who married Elizabeth Cox and died in Randolph County, N.C.; Robert (b. 1740/1), who married Mary Unknown; Thomas David (b. 1745); Amos (1750-1823), who married Amy Allen and died in Randolph County, N.C.; or Jesse (1757-1820), who married Ann Chamnes and died in Eagles Mills, Vinton Co., Ohio.
