There are many places that sell archival safe pages and even the "RingFolio Binder Box" to store old precious pictures in. (You can use ringed notebooks too but should be archival safe. They even have sleeves to slide ringed notebooks in.) About ten years ago I purchased Binder Boxes for all of my old family pictures. My pictures are completely surrounded by the box but you can open the top portion and it lays back. (Enclosed boxes help keep dust and other contaminates out.) Inside each box are rings that I fasten my various sizes of archival safe sleeves onto. I also use archival safe pens that write on archival safe slips of paper that slip into a pocket on the sleeve. They even have archival safe corner and etc. to fasten the pictures down with if you prefer to fasten them on acid free paper. Please store in a climate controlled environment or you may waste your effort. Often when I scan a archived picture I leave it in its sleeve so I do not leave new finger print smudges on it. This has worked for me and my ancestor's pictures are still resting well after ten years. Here are some websites to check out. The first is for the boxes I just described. http://www.archivalmethods.com/category.cfm?categoryid=8 http://www.lightimpressionsdirect.com/servlet/OnlineShopping Jean grannyroots@iowatelecom.net or jeansjots@yahoo.com "Watch What You Say or Do, You Might Sell Your Parrot To The Town Gossip and If You Don't Have A Parrot Someone Above May Be Watching You" Every Name Index: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jeanlee Register Reports: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jeanlee/ leepergenealogical.html Cemetery project: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jeanlee/ cemeteriesmarionhenry.htm

Yes, it can be. I have had that happen. I would look for acid free pages, both to set them on and cover them. Also the experience I had was it got hot where I had them stored and that did not help. And you can't get the plastic off the pictures without raising the print itself. At least, that is what happened to me. Doesn't that place in Logan Utah have those products? gayle > Hello All, > > > > First, I apologize to those who may receive this more than once because I am > cross-posting to get the best answers.

Just to add a bit to Bill Medlin's response, the 1753 edition of Besse is now available on-line through the Earlham School of Religion, along with many other Quaker texts. These are historical and doctrinal, rather than genealogical, but some, like Besse, are useful for genealogists. Go to http://esr.earlham.edu/dqc/biblio.html for the list of resources.

The following is from Joey Green's Wacky Uses and does work. Preserve newspaper clippings. Dissolve one capful of Phillips' Milk of Magnesia in one quart Canada Dry Club Soda. Let the mixture stand overnight. The next day, stir the mixture well, then soak your clipping in the solution for one hour. Blot the newspaper clipping between two sheets of Bounty and place on a screen to dry.

Thank you for the information. I am more and more impressed with my heritage. jmills

My Blatchford lineage is included in the Southwick-Phillips lineage keep on-keeping on-never quit. Roger

I descend twice from Lawrence and Cassandra Southwick. Moreover, Sir Winston Churchill also descends from them. Joan

You are most welcome. Unfortunately I also had at least one Puritan ancestor, Robert Coe The Puritan. I have many, many Quakers in my ancestry. Joan

Dona Crawford, We also descend from Eleazer Beals and his wife Ann Millikan through their daughter, Louisa. Louisa married Jesse Hodson. I have records of their descendants. Eleazer was a prominent evangelical Quaker preacher who outlived four wives, (Ann was his first) and died in Plainfield IN. I'd be happy to share notes with you. Lena B.

Thank you for sharing the story about Quaker persecution. It has added a new deminsion of knowledge about how low we can grow when we are convinced our views are the right views. I am grateful forthe information so I can share it with my children and grandchildren. Jmillls

Yes. I'm descended both from Daniel Southwick who was supposed to have been sold into slavery in the Barbados and his older brother John. The Quakers fought for the separation of church and government authority right from the start. Some historians say that the Salem witch trials were in part a backlash against the Quaker questioning/revolt against Puritan hegemony. The doctrine of separation of church and state was finally codified in the constitution in the 18th century, but it is important to identify and remember the prior skirmishes that led to the concept being institutionalized. Benjamin Franklin's mother. Abiah Folger, daughter of Peter Folger, was b. on Nantucket in 1667. Although Nantucket did not *officially* have a Quaker meeting until 1702, it was settled by religious dissenters who had gone there to escape the heavy-handed Puritans. Thomas Macy and Richard Swain had been charged with the crime of *entertaining Quakers.* In 1655, a law was passed that "no Quaker be entertained by any person or persons with this government;, under penalty of L5 for every such default, or be whipped" This law was amended in October 1657, making the fine forty shillings per hour for every offense. Under the provisions of this law, several Quakers were arrested and imprisoned. On the 18th of October 1659, the "Court understanding that several inhabitants of this jurisdiction have lodged Quakers now in prison, do order that the secretary issue out a warrant to the several persons & send them same by messenger of purpose to bring them with speed to this court to answer for their offense therein" These persons were: James Rawlins, Anthony Emery, Thomas Spencer, Richard Nason, Richard Swain, Zaccheus Gould and Thomas Macy. Two of the Quakers imprisoned, William Robinson and Marmaduke Stephenson., were hanged in Boston on the 27th of December 1659. All those named were fined except James Rawlins who was only admonished by the Governor. Richard Swain was fined three pounds and disenfranchised. Thomas Macy paid thirty shillings and was admonished by the Governor. Even before he paid the fine, he sold his land in Amesbury and moved to Nantucket in 1659. By 1660 Richard Swain had turned his property over to his daughters and moved with sons John and Richard, Jr. his new wife and stepchildren, to Nantucket. In 1659, he and his son John Swain, were two of the ten original purchasers of Nantucket Island. No doubt this background was well known to Franklin who although he professed to admire Cotton Mather certainly seems from his writings steeped in values similar to those held by the Quakers.

According to the 1998 supplement of the "Brinton Genealogy", Olive Bennett born circa 1688 was the daughter of Ann Brinton and John Bennett. She was born in Chester County PA and died 4 Feb. 1733. She was buried in Chester County PA. Olive married William Pyle 1707. William was born 26 Jan 1685 in Bethel Township. Their three children were Isaac Pyle, Ann Pyle and Olive Pyle. Ann Brinton was the daughter of William Brinton the immigrant and Ann Bagley!! Jane Pinkerton Burbank, CA

Dot: Just saw your post re: Chalfant & Chads. I am a direct descendant of the Chalfants and Pyles. I have been searching for a few things, maybe you can help me. Do you know of the parents of Olive Bennett who m. William Pyle in the 1600s? Do you have any information on the Chalfants - I am in need of the parents of Sarah E. Chalfant who married Issac Pyle in the 1700s. Isaac was buried in London Grove but Sarah is not with him for some reason. Thank you! Michelle
