As many of you will know, the UK Dictionary of National Biography is sending a daily biography to those who have registered. And fascinating they are too. Today's biography is of Francis Bugg (1640-1727), Quaker apostate. http://www.oxforddnb.com/public/lotw/1.html Makes an interesting read. Some thirty years ago I spent a year at his home village of Mildenhall (which I chiefly remember for being very remote and extremely cold in winter. I was pleased to leave), but had no idea then it had any Quaker connections. Chris chris@dickinson.uk.net http://www.rumbutter.com http://www.rumbutter.net .

Thanks for posting this, Chris. I think it's a good example of a part of Friends history that doesn't get passed on to wee Quaker lads and lasses when they absorb all the stories of the Valiant Sixty, etc. After Fox sat by while James Nayler got his tongue bored, it seems -- based on what I've been reading -- that the society went into a period of rigidity when certain Friends who considered themselves weighty almost squelched the whole concept of an Inner Light.

I am trying to trace our family Tree. My GGGrandfather was William Eaton Browne. I think he was born in Worcester, but later moved to Wolverhampton. He immigrated to South Africa with his wife Elizabeth and 8 of their children in 1882. He died in Port Elizabeth 2 February 1893. I have information that he was a member of The Society of Friends and that he came from a long line of stonemasons. Originally his surname was spelt Brown (without the "e"). His wife's maiden name is a mystery as sometimes it is "Allies", "Lies", "Loyes", "Lyos" I would greatly appreciate it if some kind person could assist Kind Regards Mike Browne

If you haven't, then you would do better to start from there and then confirm your findings in Quaker records later. I had a quick look on the LDS 1881 Census site, but couldn't immediately find anything that matched your facts above. http://www.familysearch.org/ However, there is a 78-year-old William Eaton Browne in the FreeBMD index - a death in 1880. http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/ The only problem about this is that the death is registered in Norfolk, a long way from the Midlands. It may be a coincidence of name but, if not, might suggest that your Browne family originated from Norfolk. A father or grandfather deceased in 1880, and then an emigration in 1882, might also suggest that he left enough money for them to start off a new life together. Might be worth checking for a will.

Hessie Mendenhall, wife of (James) Owen Mendenhall, died at her home in Portland, Oregon July 9, 1914 aged fifty-nine years one month and four days. For a number of years she suffered much but through it all she was hopeful, ever showing a cheerful and happy spirit. Although afflicted so much, her council and advice were much valued. Such remarkable patience is ever an evidence of a peace which passeth understanding.

The Bangor, IA, clippings just posted by Joan Whitney contain a few names familiar to me. The one with the subject "Hollingsworth" I would guess to be from the 1920s, from its mention of my great-grandfather, "Rev. N[ereus] M. Hodgin." His dates were 1847-l932, and he maintained a home in Bangor from 1910 until his death, although he was only intermittently in residence during the early part of that period. -- S. Newton.

This is my first message on Quaker-Roots. I think my ancesters were Quakers, They lived in Madison Twp., Morgan County, Indiana. Some later ones married into the Hadley Family and are buried in White Lick Cemetery. The family I am researching is Benedict and Elizabeth Woodward , their son Thomas and Tabitha Ann Woodward was my gggrandparents.Benedict was in Morgan Co. census in 1830,1840,1850, and Elizabeth also in 1860 and 1870. I have information on some children and not sure if I have all children. I would like to find out Tabitha Ann's maiden name.Thomas and some brothers later moved to Illinois, Thomas must have lived in Tipton Co.,Ind.for a short time ,because one son was born there in 1868, in 1870 he was in McLean Co., Illinois, and then moved on to Missouri, , where his daughter (my ggrandmother) Sarah C.Woodward married. The family lived in Mercer Co.,Missouri . I would like any information if anyone knows this family.

John Manlove died at his residence in Clay township, Hamilton county, Indiana, on the 3d day of August (1891). His disease was an affection of the heart and bowels. He was born in Clinton county, Ohio, in the year 1813. His father, whose name George, moved to Fayette county, Ind. when the subject of this sketch was an infant. In the year 1835, he was married to Margaret Symons who died January 4, 1876. In the year 1844 he moved with his family to Hamilton county, where he lived on his farm the remainder of his life. John was the eldest of a family of eight children, three of whom survive him. His brothers, David and George W. and his sister, Mrs Dickey, of Tipton county, together with all his children liveing have been at his bedside during his last illness. Three of his daughters and two of his sons have gone on before and there is still living, Wm. Manlove, of Missouri, Caroline Mason and Margaret E. Hunt, of Iowa, Viena M. Graves, of Wilkinson, Ind., Lydia Henley, ! Geo. W Manlove and Melissa Manlove, of Clay township, Ind. In the year 1832, his father went to Cincinnati, on business where he took cholera, which was raging in that city. Word of his illness was received at their home, when John with another son started to their father's assistance, but arrived to learn that he was dead and buried. After this the care of the family rested largely upon him, and he was loved by his brothers and sisters as brother and father. Mr. Manlove was possessed of a fine mind and a cheerful disposition but he was more especially esteemed for his kindness of heart. He was a kind husband and father, and a congenial companion: and so, after a useful and a happy life, radiant with much beauty, surrounded by his family and a vast number of admiring and loving friends, the last spark of life went out. The pillow of death was softened by the christian's hope of immortality. (From a Mr Carrol paper)
