If I have the opportunity to go to the Houston Geneology Library this coming Monday I will look up Abraham for you. Linda BannanMT@aol.com wrote:Are you offering to do look-ups for anyone or just for Linda? I know that my library does not have the Hinshaw books and I am looking for the parents of Abraham Ford, as well as those of his first wife. Abraham Ford was born in 1748, not sure where but possibly NJ, DE, or PA. He married Elizabeth (last name unknown) around 1773/4. Children were: Samuel, Benjamin, Ann, Mary, William, Isaac, and Joseph. Abraham fought in the American Revolution with the Delaware Regiment, but I believe that he had been raised as a Quaker. In 1790/1 he and his family, except for Samuel and Benjamin, were admitted (or re-admitted) into the Society of Friends. If you can give me any help, it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I am looking for the parents of Eliza Arnett who was born near Waynesville in Warren Co, OH in 1717. She was raised as a Quaker, but left the chuch in the mid 1840's. Here's what I know about Eliza: Born Dec 25, 1817 in Warren Co. Married Samuel Sattterthwaite Jun 9, 1838 in Warren Co. Samuel died Aug 5, 1840. Married James Russell Lee Mar 20, 1842 in Warren Co. Died Oct 21, 1887 in Springfield, Clark Co, OH. Eliza may have been the granddaughter of Thomas Arnett who was born in PA or VA in 1758 and died in Warren Co on Feb 14, 1844. Thomas enlisted in the Revolutiuonary War in Bedford Co, PA in 1879. Bruce Johnson Summit, NJ

I'm also looking for data on this family - I don't have my Watson's connected to this family - but do have my Watson's married to Sellers Quaker line. I can take your Walton connection back to about 1574.

I have four separate Maddens in my family tree, but I am trying to determine if they are related up the tree. Two branches are connected to the Quaker religion, and the others married Quaker descendants. Branch 1: Charles Madden m. Keturah Cook (dau. of Isaac & Charity). Who were his parents? Branch 2: Alexander Madden b. abt. 1781 in N. Carolina m. Patsey James in Orange Co., NC. Who were his parents and children? Branch 3: William Madden b. abt. 1807 in Tennessee (possibly Jackson or White Co.), moved to Boone Co., Missouri, m. Jane or Irene Yount abt. 1826. May have NC roots, according to one document. Who were his parents? Branch 4: George Madden b. 16 Mar 1759 Chester Co., PA, m. Edith Harvey, d. 1823 in Clinton Co., Ohio. Father may have been Barnabas Madden b. England, lived in Chester Co., PA. George's bro. may have been John from Orange Co., NC. How are they connected, and who are their parents and children? Do any of you have info. relating to these Maddens? Thank you, Linda Smith

Jerry; Hinshaw's NC book does not list where he came from; only when he turned up at Cane Creek. The info I sent you shows that he was born in Craven County, NC. Hope this sends you in the right direction. Jan

Are you offering to do look-ups for anyone or just for Linda? I know that my library does not have the Hinshaw books and I am looking for the parents of Abraham Ford, as well as those of his first wife. Abraham Ford was born in 1748, not sure where but possibly NJ, DE, or PA. He married Elizabeth (last name unknown) around 1773/4. Children were: Samuel, Benjamin, Ann, Mary, William, Isaac, and Joseph. Abraham fought in the American Revolution with the Delaware Regiment, but I believe that he had been raised as a Quaker. In 1790/1 he and his family, except for Samuel and Benjamin, were admitted (or re-admitted) into the Society of Friends. If you can give me any help, it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Mary
