I took the liberty of copying and pasting an answer given by another patron of the list, that might help with your Redland's question. It is listed below and also would like to contribute this bit of information. I have a record of the Thomas family that was moving from PA to Kentucky that referred thus..in 1750's,..."They had first settled near the Old Restone Fort, which is Brownsville, in Fayette County and according to an old researcher, "It (Old Redstone Fort) was first a storehouse for the Ohio Company and later was a rendezvous for the English when they gathered to march against the French in 1754. Subsequently, the French burned the fort. It later became famous as the meeting place of the leaders of the Whiskey Rebellion in 1734." Also, "Phineas Thomas at first located in Pennsylvania, but later, hearing glowing accounts of the rich soil of the Kentucky country, migrated thither with several other pioneer families and laid claim to a tract of land upon which he erected a small cabin and made a few improvements. Kentucky was the Indian name given by the Indians for the "dark and bloody ground". At that time the "dark and bloody ground" was the common battlefield of numerous hostile tribes, all of which in an early day combined for the purpose of driving the hated white settlers from the land. It was during one of the most terrible periods that the Thomas family settled on the disputed territory. Fearing that massacre would eventually overtake them as it had so many of the pioneers of Kentucky, Mr. Thomas, during a lull in the war, loaded up his family and a few belongings on a wagon and returned without serious hindrance to Pennsylvania where he and wife died a great many years ago." Dottie This is from another list owner: Redstone MM in Brownsville was the most prominent monthly meeting in Fayette County, PA, and the Redstone Quarterly Meeting held there (consisting of Redstone and Westland MMs) was the jumping-off point for many Friends moving to Ohio and the Northwest Territory to be "ever free of slavery."  For example, the Trent MM in Jones County, North Carolina (1792-1800) left no known records, but in 1800 Redstone QM received a final minute from Trent saying all its members were moving to Ohio and asking that the meetings in western Pennsylvania take them under their care.  I searched my Monthly Meetings in North America database to pull up the four MMs with a final meeting place in Fayette County: http://www.quakermeetings.com/search_display?MeetingName=&County=Fayette &StateOrProvince=Penns&generalSearchWord= (two-line URL)         Tom Thomas C.

Some genealogists have been trying to locate information regarding Friends Meetings in Spartanburg County, SC, during the colonial era. They had heard of Friends there in mid-1700s, which is most unlikely. I though perhaps it would be useful to post on QR some of the information I sent them for the benefit of other researchers. There were several Quaker families in the present Spartanburg Co, SC, especially on the side nearest to Union Co. Some were so isolated from other Friends that they adopted the "customs of the world" and were assimilated into other groups, especially Methodists. There has never been a Quaker Monthly Meeting in Spartanburg nor is there any record of a local (Preparative or Indulged Meeting) Meeting or worship group there. The Quaker families that lived in Spartanburg Co were members of Bush River Monthly Meeting (Newberry Co) until about 1789 and of Cane Creek Monthly Meeting (Union Co) after 1789. There were two fairly large worship groups or local Meetings in Union County and almost certainly a number of small ones, which lacked the official status of Preparative Meetings (entitled to conduct some types of business but not granting or removing membership or approving marriages, etc.) and which would not have kept records. Padget's Creek and Tyger River were different names for the same Meeting, established as a Preparative Meeting in 1774, which was subdivided into Upper and Lower meetings. Padget's Cr was subordinate to Bush River until 1789 and to Cane Cr Monthy Meeting after that. Something unique, I think, in American Quaker history, almost all of the active members of Cane Creek (including Padgets) moved as a body to the Miami country of Ohio because of their opposition to slavery, not wanting their children to grow up under its influence and finding SC slave laws increasingly dificult to live with. They took the Monthly Meeting Minute book with them, and continued using it for Caesar's Creek Meeting near Wilmington, Ohio. The Cane Creek Meeting as officially laid down and the few remaining members in S.C. transferred to New Garden Monthly Meeting at Greensboro, North Carolina in 1809. I have always suspected that there must have been an unofficial worship group that met in homes in Spartanburg Co, used at least during the Winter and Spring rainy seasons and at other times that travel to Union Co was dangerous or impossible. However, I have found no mention of one in either the Minutes or travel journals kept by visiting ministers. I would be VERY interested in any information anyone finds about a Quaker group in Spartanburg Co. You asked about Quakers in this area in the mid-1700's. The few white settlers in the Spartanburg area in 1750 would have probably been driven out during the Cherokee War. Friends would not have allowed members to encroach on Indian lands illegally. The first Quakers known in the Peidmont of SC were about 1762, but not many came before the late 1760s. The nearest Friends Meetings today are at Greenville and Charlotte. Bill Medlin

Ms Judi - On your search for land transactions; I don't have a way to look it up myself, but can give you a lead on that. North Carolina land grants are indexed in the Master Card File Index to North Carolina Land Grants, 1679 to 1959. This is available from the land grant office, Office of the Secretary of State, 300 North Salisbury Street, Raleigh, North Carolina, 27603. You will need to write to that address and give them the full name of the person and specify Guilford County. Hope this helps. I do a lot of research in Guilford County records any way I can for both my parents ancestors. Good Luck!

This message is to Jan Thomas, I do hope you do not mind that I looked in on your message to another. I am descended from Jacob Thomas Sr. who was born in Pa and moved to Jefferson Co TN. in the late 1780 to 1790. His son Jacob Thomas Jr. was the father of Wilson Thomas this is my line.

Seth Hinshaw <sethhinshaw@hotmail.com> wrote:The type of door being described was a standard door construction of the Colonial era. Architectural historians call it a six-paneled door, mostly to distance it from the common name of "cross over open Bible" door. While the placement of the lockrail and stiles provides a stylized cross over an open Bible, or in some cases in New England the so-called "cross over cross" door, architectural historians have found no writing from Colonial times which discusses the significance of the arrangement of door panels. This is rather significant, since other things of far lesser importance are discussed in the primary source material. Also, the connection of Friends with the six-paneled door should be tempered. I have seen this door in many Colonial houses, including Quaker, Anglican, Lutheran, Presbyterian, or other. If anything, the type of hinge holding the door says more about the people living in the house than the door itself. One thing of some significance is that the molding pattern of the door panels of these six-paneled doors went out of style in the early nineteenth century. What I am talking about is a panel whose face rises to the same height as the face of the rails and stiles of the door, and the edges of the panels have either a single bead or a double bead. For the most part, at least in the areas I am familiar with, after 1830 this particular panel technique disappeared except for the partition walls of Friends meeting houses.

Hi, I sent this to the Mills list with no response. I am hoping someone in this group can help. I have a Jemima Hodgson who married a Hugh Mills on Aug. 23, 1827. I would like to know the parents of Hugh. Also if anyone is familiar with this couple and might know the names of their children. Additionally Jemimas parents were Solomon Hodgson and Elizabeth Mills. I would also like to know the parents of Elizabeth. Solomon & Elizabeth married Sept. 9, 1804 in North Carolina. Thanks, Dale in California

Your library may offer the same. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerry M." <jerrym@netacc.net> To: <QUAKER-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, December 16, 2004 8:00 PM Subject: Re: [Q-R] Query Dwiggins > Not all of us have heritage quest available to us. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Dale Harguess > To: QUAKER-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com > Sent: Thursday, December 16, 2004 3:26 PM > Subject: RE: [Q-R] Query Dwiggins > > > There are numerous Dwiggins mentioned in the book: Ancestral Record of > the Dillon, Hodgson, Fisher and Leonard Families which is available on > Heritage Quest. > Dale > > -----Original Message----- > From: Bob Binzer [mailto:robinzer@seidata.com] > Sent: Monday, December 13, 2004 10:43 AM > To: QUAKER-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [Q-R] Query Dwiggins > > Searching for our roots we need so me help.

Hi Mark, I'm just dusting off some research on my husband's Quaker lines. He descends from no fewer than four Thomas Whites of Perquimans County! The only one that appears to be of an age to have a slave in 1783 is Thomas, son of Thomas and Rachel Jordan. He was one of their 12 children and twin to Rachel White. b: 25 Dec 1730 d: Aug 1809 m: 11 May 1755 in Rowan Co., NC to Anna Barrow, daughter of Joseph Barrow and Sarah Copeland (I need more info on her!) Their children include Orpha, Nathan, Jonathan m: abt 1769 at Rich Square MM, Northampton Co., NC to Pherby Duke (no further info on this marriage) I'm starting with a pedigree chart obtained twelve years ago from a cousin (since deceased). I don't know his sources. Most of the above is also in Hinshaw, though. "The History of Perquimans County," now online at Ancestry.com, also has many references to his ancestors, though I don't always understand how she reaches her conclusions. Let me know if you think this is the right family. Thomas White and Rachel Jordan were apparently pillars of the Quaker community there. Thanks for the reference to the Hiram Hilty book. I'm just getting started and am already overwhelmed by the amount of source material on the NC Quakers! --Linda

I'd like to identify the children of gg Grandfather,Judge Pleasant Harris, b 1791 and wife ,Hannah Massey.I'm not sure of his standing in the Friends ,but do know that his father Benjamin Harris was a Quaker preacher in Guilford NC. Also trying to identify the parents of John L Palmer, b 1815 in Chester PA who married Sarah Chandler,b 1815 in Fayette PA . They were married 1836 in Belmont OH. Will appreciate hearing from anyone who has any info about these people. Louise send email to lsigle@cableone.net

I'm not quite sure how I'm related to John Woolman,but it is through Patience Woolman,b 1718, who married Joseph Moore, b 1708,and their daughter,Patience Moore who married John Wanee. I'm a little confused as to whether she was a sister, niece or some other relative to John Wooman. Can you help me out here? Whatever it was, I'm interested in the time period and his travels to PA as somehow that is where my connection originated.
