Hi fellow Nantucker researchers. I looked at my CD I got these from and now may have to eat my words, it is labeled "copywrited". But here it the information, bear with me. Go to http://genealogycds.com/sales/nantucket.htm the seller has this listed for $24.50 plus $2.50 shipping BUT it contains the five volumes of: Nantucket Births Nantucket Marriages Nantucket Deaths "and" Hinchmans Early Settlers of Nantucket, Starbucks History of Nantucket Quakerism on Nantucket, by Henry Worth Breif historical data ------Jos. E. Farnum Nantucket Lands and Owners Henry Worth The Island of Nantucket 1882 Edw. Godfrey Free Masonry on Nantucket Nantucket, a history Douglas Lithgow 1914 Wrecks around Nantucket Arthur Gardner The files are a total of about 450 megs so impossible to email as attachments, that would take forever. They also have a CD on New Bedford and one on Rhode Island but I don't have the RI CD So don't think it would actually be ethical to copy these after all. Let me know what you think Don Cordell

My wife is descended from William Clayton and Prudence Lanckford so, when I came across the following passage in an old book today (at the Chester County Historical Society, West Chester, PA), I copied it down. I'm not vouching for this in any way, just sharing it. The book is mostly about the author's world travels, but he devotes a chapter or so to his genealogy and memories of growing up in and around Bethel Township, Delaware Co., PA. Mark "I have not been able to trace the family in England further back than 1560, when Thomas Clayton was the owner of "Clayton Hall" in Yorkshire. "They Claytons, according to family tradition, came originally from Sussex, England, where there was a small town of that name. In the olden time, surnames did not indicate relationship but location. All the inhabitants of Claytown (Clayton) took that as their surname. As York was then the political center of the Kingdom, it was quite natural that the bright young men of the sleepy old town should migrate to the fashionable metropolis of England. "The first son of Thomas of "Clayton Hall" died a minor. His second son was William of Okenshaw. He was a barrister of the Inner Temple. He died in 1627. The estate known as "Clayton Hall," descended to Thomas (2) who was in possession as heir in 1666. He had a son William, who came to this country in 1671, and is the ancestor of our family, and will be hereafter called William of Chichester, to distinguish him from the many other William Claytons that succeeded him. Thomas (2) had also a son, John, who was a barrister of the Inner Temple. He died April 6, 1666. "William of Okenshaw, the grandfather of 'William of Chichester, had a son, Jasper, who was knighted by his sovereign for some service which is not stated in the record. He was afterwards called Sir Jasper Clayton." Source: Rambles and Reflections: Europe from Biscay to the Black Sea and from Aetna to the North Cape with Glimpses at Asia, Africa, America and the Islands of the Sea. By Thomas J. Clayton, 1892.

I have the Natucket Birth Marriage and Death books as pdf files, if anyone is interested. Plus other Nantucket histories. Don Cordell Coffin, Macy, Gardner, Bunker, Swain, Starbuck, Worth, etc descendant.

This query references several prominent Quaker towns in Rhode Island or southern Massachusetts: Rhode Island MM at Newport and Portsmouth Sandwich MM in Barnstable County, MA, with its Yarmouth constituent after 1681 Uxbridge MM, now named Worchester MM Swansea MM in Somerset, Bristol County, MA (There is some disagreement about whether Sandwich or Rhode Island was the first monthly meeting in North America; both began before George Fox suggested Friends take careful minutes and keep clear membership records in 1671-1672.) A review of my web site shows that all the above meetings have original or microfilmed records in the New England Yearly Meeting archives at the Rhode Island Historical Society, most of the microfilm done by the Genealogical Society of Utah and available through your local LDS Family History Center. Rhode Island MM left NEYM in 1951 and deposited most of the original records at the Newport Historical Society. Tom Thomas C.

I have some CHASE ancestors who were Quakers, and I would like to have the benefit of your help and any suggestions for further research. I am interested in knowing more about the Quaker ties of the following family. [Note: Most of this data was copied from the "New England Historical & Genealogical Society Register," Publication Year 1933, Vol. 87, Pg. 53, et al, "Descendants of William Chase," as found online through their subscription-based website www.newenglandancestors.org]. Joseph CHASE/CHACE, was b. abt. 1673, at Yarmouth. Barnstable Co., Plymouth Colony, Mass. He d. btw. 8 Nov 1724 (when his will was written), & 30 Mar 1725 (when it was proved), in Swansea, Bristol Co., Mass. He was the son of William CHASE/CHACE Jr., & Elizabeth HOLDER, both of Yarmouth. He was also the grandson of William CHASE/CHACE Sr., who came from Wivenhoe, Essex, England, and sailed to Boston with the Winthrop Fleet of 1630. William. Sr. later removed to Roxbury, and then to Yarmouth. William Sr. & Jr., as far as is known, were not Quakers. Joseph CHASE m. Sarah SHERMAN, dau. of Sampson & Isabel (TRIPP) SHERMAN, of Portsmouth, Newport Co., RI, and the granddaughter of the Hon. Philip SHERMAN, a signer of the Portsmouth Compact, founding the town, 7 Mar 1638/9. I believe the SHERMANs were Quakers. Joseph & Sarah were m. 28 February 1693/94, at Portsmouth, Newport Co., RI, [at a Friends' meeting?]. The Register (1933-87-53) states, "Both Joseph Chase and his wife were members of the Society of Friends at Portsmouth." I would love to know where I might find the records of the Portsmouth/Newport Friends Meetings of that period. Sarah SHERMAN was b. 24 Sep 1667, in Portsmouth. She d. 19 Sep 1748, in Portsmouth. Joseph & Sarah (SHERMAN) CHASE had 14 children. Abigail, Lydia, Job, Alice (b. in Portsmouth, at "Wickapimsett"), Ruth, Sampson, Isabel, Joseph, Stephen, Sarah, Silas, George, Ebenezer & Moses. I am descended from their 12th child, George CHASE, b. abt. 1715, at Swansea, Mass. He d. 1786. He m. Lydia SHOVE, 08 February 1735/36, in Swansea. Lydia was b. 31 July 1707, in Dighton, Bristol Co., Mass.; the dau. of Edward & Lydia (WITHERELL) SHOVE. The Register says George m. 2nd, Sarah CORNELL, however, Jeffrey Chace [http://home.wanadoo.nl/j.b.chace/] says it was George's son Benjamin who m. Sarah Cornell, making Benjamin's family related to Ezra CORNELL of the College fame. I note that the Register doesn't say whether George & Lydia were members of the Society of Friends. George & Lydia had 7 children, according to the Register, all born at Swansea: George, Edward, Benjamin, Micajah, Paul, Sarah & Huldah. I descend from Micajah/Micaiah. He m. Hannah SHOVE, 9 Sep 1779, at Swansea. She was b. 8 Apr 1751, at Swansea?, and was the dau. of Nathaniel & Hannah (BAXTER) SHOVE, of Swansea. Again, the Register gives no notice of their having been members of the Society of Friends. Micajah & Hannah had 4 known children: Lydia, Mercy, Nathaniel (of Uxbridge, Mass.) & Josiah (of Coventry, RI). I am descended from Josiah. Josiah was b. abt. 1786, at Swansea? He m. Charity TILLEY, 29 Feb 1816, in Douglas, Worcester Co., MA. [The Register says he m. Charity FULLER, but the VR Marriage record says TILLEY. Poss. a transcription error?]. Charity was b. 7 Aug 1798, in Douglas. She was the dau. of James & Sarah (SMITH) TILLEY, of Douglas. Josiah d. 28 Nov 1837, at Mendon, Worcester Co., MA. Charity d. Aft. 6 Mar 1848, at Uxbridge, Worcester Co., MA. Josiah & Charity had 9 Children: Angeline*, Edwin*, Martha, Emeline*, William E., Louisa, Betsey, Sarah S. & Louvan A. (* denotes d. young). I am descended from Louisa. Louisa S. CHASE was b. 1 Mar 1825, at Uxbridge. She m. Mowry/Morey B. ALGER, son of Preserved & Mehitabel (BROWN) ALGER, on 12 Apr 1851, at Burrillville, Providence Co., RI. The marriage record is recorded in the VRs & the Town Records of Burrillville, as "Civil." The actual marriage records as written are thus: "Marriage Intention: I hereby certify the Intention of Marriage between Mowry Alger of Burrillville, RI and Louisa Chase of Uxbridge, MA has this day been published in public meeting by me the subscribed. Burrillville, April 12th, 1851. Martin S. Salisbury, Justice of the Peace. Marriage : I hereby certify that the above named persons were joined in marriage by me this 12th day of April, AS 1851. Enos Lappan, Justice of the Peace. Received April 14th 1851 and recorded by John Walling, Town Clerk." This makes me think that perhaps Louisa was a Quaker, who married out of her faith. There are no more Quakers in this line after her, if she was one. I am trying to unravel this mystery. Any help or suggestions, lookups, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Judith Heald, In my review of Quaker records I have seldom seen separate minutes from a meeting's recorder. The result of the recorder's work is the record of births, deaths, marriages and membership. However, in a few meetings there are drafts of vital records and drafts of the presiding clerk's minutes; perhaps someone has considered those "recorder's minutes".. Tom Thomas C.

The Recorder notes births, deaths, marriages, new members and members who leave the meeting. The Recorder noted my daughter's marriage with her parents names, her husband's parents names, and what meeting he was associated with as well. Problem is, I don't know where these minutes for other Monthly Meetings are located!!! Swarthmore has archived Meeting minutes, but not Recorder Minutes? My hubby thinks the London Grove Recorder notes are on the London Grove property in the safe, but where are others? Judy Judith Walter Heald jheald@pennswoods.net Spring Mills, PA 16875

Hi Violet, Tom and all, As you probably know, birth, marriage, death records from the Society of Friends were included in the printed Vital Records of Nantucket to 1850 books. These are noted with C.R.4. But maybe you want something more. As I did awhile back. I was looking for more information, trying to prove who the parents were of the Abial Brown who married Silvanus Hussey 7th, 12 mo. 1711/12. I was hoping there might be something in the meeting minutes. (All secondary sources say she is descended from a string of 3 John Browns of Salem. But I can't seem to prove this.) After consulting Mr. Hill's book and the film's descriptions on the LDS web site, I got film #0909502. As I recall, it seemed to be kind of a hodge-podge of various records and I don't think it had the meeting minutes where marriage intentions were recorded. I haven't tried the other films, yet; and would be interested if anyone knows if any of the other ones might have what I'm looking for. One futher note: I got the impression from what I did find that Silvanus may not have become a Quaker until his second marriage (to Hephzibah Starbuck). So, my search may be in vain.

Joel, I am descended from William Chase as well; however I descend thru Stephen (brother of George) m. Esther Buffington. Then I am descended from their daughter Peace (a good Quaker name!) m. David Baker. David Baker moved to Ontario NY with his adult children and their families after Peace died and the next generation (Moses Baker m. Cynthia White) migrated to Lenawee Co, MI where they remained members of the Society of Friends. You probably need to check the Providence RI MM records to see if Louisa was disowned for *marrying out of meeting.* Leslie Hope

Greetings, I am posting my first message to this list. I have some CHASE ancestors who were Quakers, and I would like to have the benefit of your help and any suggestions for further research. I am interested in knowing more about the Quaker ties of the following family. [Note: Most of this data was copied from the "New England Historical & Genealogical Society Register," Publication Year 1933, Vol. 87, Pg. 53, et al, "Descendants of William Chase," as found online through their subscription-based website www.newenglandancestors.org]. Joseph CHASE/CHACE, was b. abt. 1673, at Yarmouth. Barnstable Co., Plymouth Colony, Mass. He d. btw. 8 Nov 1724 (when his will was written), & 30 Mar 1725 (when it was proved), in Swansea, Bristol Co., Mass. He was the son of William CHASE/CHACE Jr., & Elizabeth HOLDER, both of Yarmouth. He was also the grandson of William CHASE/CHACE Sr., who came from Wivenhoe, Essex, England, and sailed to Boston with the Winthrop Fleet of 1630. William. Sr. later removed to Roxbury, and then to Yarmouth. William Sr. & Jr., as far as is known, were not Quakers. Joseph CHASE m. Sarah SHERMAN, dau. of Sampson & Isabel (TRIPP) SHERMAN, of Portsmouth, Newport Co., RI, and the granddaughter of the Hon. Philip SHERMAN, a signer of the Portsmouth Compact, founding the town, 7 Mar 1638/9. I believe the SHERMANs were Quakers. Joseph & Sarah were m. 28 February 1693/94, at Portsmouth, Newport Co., RI, [at a Friends' meeting?]. The Register (1933-87-53) states, "Both Joseph Chase and his wife were members of the Society of Friends at Portsmouth." I would love to know where I might find the records of the Portsmouth/Newport Friends Meetings of that period. Sarah SHERMAN was b. 24 Sep 1667, in Portsmouth. She d. 19 Sep 1748, in Portsmouth. Joseph & Sarah (SHERMAN) CHASE had 14 children. Abigail, Lydia, Job, Alice (b. in Portsmouth, at "Wickapimsett"), Ruth, Sampson, Isabel, Joseph, Stephen, Sarah, Silas, George, Ebenezer & Moses. I am descended from their 12th child, George CHASE, b. abt. 1715, at Swansea, Mass. He d. 1786. He m. Lydia SHOVE, 08 February 1735/36, in Swansea. Lydia was b. 31 July 1707, in Dighton, Bristol Co., Mass.; the dau. of Edward & Lydia (WITHERELL) SHOVE. The Register says George m. 2nd, Sarah CORNELL, however, Jeffrey Chace [http://home.wanadoo.nl/j.b.chace/] says it was George's son Benjamin who m. Sarah Cornell, making Benjamin's family related to Ezra CORNELL of the College fame. I note that the Register doesn't say whether George & Lydia were members of the Society of Friends. George & Lydia had 7 children, according to the Register, all born at Swansea: George, Edward, Benjamin, Micajah, Paul, Sarah & Huldah. I descend from Micajah/Micaiah. He m. Hannah SHOVE, 9 Sep 1779, at Swansea. She was b. 8 Apr 1751, at Swansea?, and was the dau. of Nathaniel & Hannah (BAXTER) SHOVE, of Swansea. Again, the Register gives no notice of their having been members of the Society of Friends. Micajah & Hannah had 4 known children: Lydia, Mercy, Nathaniel (of Uxbridge, Mass.) & Josiah (of Coventry, RI). I am descended from Josiah. Josiah was b. abt. 1786, at Swansea? He m. Charity TILLEY, 29 Feb 1816, in Douglas, Worcester Co., MA. [The Register says he m. Charity FULLER, but the VR Marriage record says TILLEY. Poss. a transcription error?]. Charity was b. 7 Aug 1798, in Douglas. She was the dau. of James & Sarah (SMITH) TILLEY, of Douglas. Josiah d. 28 Nov 1837, at Mendon, Worcester Co., MA. Charity d. Aft. 6 Mar 1848, at Uxbridge, Worcester Co., MA. Josiah & Charity had 9 Children: Angeline*, Edwin*, Martha, Emeline*, William E., Louisa, Betsey, Sarah S. & Louvan A. (* denotes d. young). I am descended from Louisa. Louisa S. CHASE was b. 1 Mar 1825, at Uxbridge. She m. Mowry/Morey B. ALGER, son of Preserved & Mehitabel (BROWN) ALGER, on 12 Apr 1851, at Burrillville, Providence Co., RI. The marriage record is recorded in the VRs & the Town Records of Burrillville, as "Civil." The actual marriage records as written are thus: "Marriage Intention: I hereby certify the Intention of Marriage between Mowry Alger of Burrillville, RI and Louisa Chase of Uxbridge, MA has this day been published in public meeting by me the subscribed. Burrillville, April 12th, 1851. Martin S. Salisbury, Justice of the Peace. Marriage : I hereby certify that the above named persons were joined in marriage by me this 12th day of April, AS 1851. Enos Lappan, Justice of the Peace. Received April 14th 1851 and recorded by John Walling, Town Clerk." This makes me think that perhaps Louisa was a Quaker, who married out of her faith. There are no more Quakers in this line after her, if she was one. I am trying to unravel this mystery. Any help or suggestions, lookups, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Hi List, I had an outstanding reponse! And I stand corrected.Thank you all so much! Billie Lee Smith

Hi! FYI Wilbur H. Siebert Papers - A large collection of letters and papers pertaining to the Underground Railroad on Microfilm at the Ohio Historical Society in Columbus, Ohio (17 reels of microfilm). The collection is arranged by states and is very extensive. Dr. Siebert collected letters and stories from the family members of those involved in the Underground Railraod from the late 1800s to early 20th century. The documents have been typed, and thus are easy to read. They contain the names of many Quaker families who were involved in the Underground Railroad throughout the country. A great resource!

But he married Rebecca SEWELL in Clinton Co. OH in 1818. Apparently Richard CAST was his step-father. I have been told that the CASTs came from Wilkes and Iredell Co. NC and came to the Clinton/Warren Co. OH area via McMinn Co. TN, Coffee Co. TN, and Clark Co. KY. I don't know if William Henry LEE's mother married Richard CAST before or after arriving in OH. -- Dennis M. Kowallek kowallek@iglou.com ******************

In addition to the Meeting Minutes, all Quaker Meetings I have been associated with also have a position called "Recorder" within which are kept what I consider the real genealogical finds. The Recorder notes births, deaths, marriages, new members and members who leave the meeting. The Recorder noted my daughter's marriage with her parents names, her husband's parents names, and what meeting he was associated with as well. Problem is, I don't know where these minutes for other Monthly Meetings are located!!! Swarthmore has archived Meeting minutes, but not Recorder Minutes? My hubby thinks the London Grove Recorder notes are on the London Grove property in the safe, but where are others?
