If you haven't done so already, have a look at: http://www.hull.ac.uk/oldlib/archives/quaker/ Not only does this have an online database that you can search (my, what a lot of Thomas Harrisons!), but also gives you an order form for a book on researching Quakers in Yorkshire :-) Chris

Hi Tom, sorry to take so long getting back, but as to the Nfld. Quakers, I still can't get a handle on them, they seem to have died out. There was a Rev. Balfour who, if you go to the Trinity Nfld. records, his marriages and births are listed under the Anglican Church. After doing some reading, I found out that the Rev. Balfour (Society for the Propogation of the Gospel) was working with the Anglican Church in Trinity as they, the SPG, did not have a church of their own. So far, I'm assuming that the Quaker religion died out in Nfld., and going with the surnames that I've been interested in, most seem to have joined the SPG or Methodist church. But, as you probably already know, there seems to be a new interest in the Quaker religion in Nfld. When I first started trying to trace my Nfld. roots, one thing I was told was that I should not focus on a specific religion, as in many of the outports, the people would have their children crhistened by whoever happened to come along, and had the auithority to have the children christened. Which, as you can imagine, has made the search even more difficult, and the name changes from Gillit, Gillet, Gillot, etc. I don't know if this is of any help, I'm hoping to get my Gillett family figured out one of these days, but if you should happen to know of a Richard Gillitt (Gillett), or a Richard Waterman who may have originated in the USA and moved to Nfld. sometime around 1730 I really would appreciate hearing from you, sincerely, Bess >From: "Tom Hill" <tomhill@nuvox.net> >Reply-To: QUAKER-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com >To: QUAKER-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: RE: [Q-R] Newfoundland Quakers >Date: Wed, 15 Sep 2004 13:04:35 -0400 > >Bess Gillett, > > I note that the Friends memberships you list were in England, and my >_Monthly Meetings in >North America: A Quaker Index_ reflect no formal Friends meetings anywhere >in what became Canada >until the 1780s.

I'm trying to find information on Thomas Harrison and his wife Elizabeth Denison, who were Quakers in York, England. The only date I have is the birth of their son, Peter, in 1716. He was the famous American architect. (Peter and his brother, Joseph) became sea captains and merchants in Newport, RI). I would love to trace more about Thomas and Elizabeth, and anything else about the family. ____________________________________________________________________________ This email and all attachments have been electronically scanned by Kingston Communications' email Anti-Virus service and no known viruses were detected. ____________________________________________________________________________

I've been searching for the death date of John Renshaw (Renshawe and other variations) for quite some time. Here is what I know. John Renshaw married Mary Stacy in 1686. Their marriage is recorded in Burlington New Jersey marriage records. John Renshaw b. around 1686 (probable son of the above)d.1767 was married to Elizabeth Newcomb in 1708. d.1774 Their banns were published in the Philadelphia monthly meeting records. John Renshaw of Derbyshire England, (a good candidate for the father of John that married Mary Stacy) mentions in his will.. proved 1706... John Renshaw, his grandson, and son of his now deceased son, John, is living in New Jersey. So, the John Renshaw death date I'm looking for is for the John Renshaw that married Mary Stacy. I have the full handwritten will of John Renshaw of Derbyshire, but here is the abstract with the tantalizing bit highlighted 23 Sept', 1704.Will of John Renshaw of Birkes, in par of Whitwell, com. Derby, devises lands in Whitwell and in Ratcliffe, in par. of Worksop; com. Notts, mentions his grandsons John Renshaw, eldest son, and Thomas and William, other sons of his son William; daughter Phila­delphia, wife of James Swift; sons Joseph, and Thomas; daughter Ruth, wife of William Pell ; grandchildren Mary, Ann, Bridget, William, and Philadelphia, children of son William; grandson John, son of son John Renshaw deceased, now in New Jersey. Codicil dated 18 Oft`, 1705, mentions daughter Kent and Mary, wife of son William. Proved 1706. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Elizabeth Elliott's date of birth is from Lost Creek records EQG p 1108 6-7-1766. Sounds likely she is the daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth Elliott. The naming pattern of the children seem to indicate the link. Hope someone can find a probate to prove.

Jemima was the daughter of Jesse and Ann/Anna (Clearwater) Wright. I knew a great-granddaughter of Jemima who was born in 1895, Mary Cronk, and she remembered that her grandmother Rebecca (Walden) Kern was a first cousin of the children of Joel Wright (1817-1895), another child of Jesse and Ann. We have a photograph of Ann (Clearwater) Wright here at Earlham. It was published in the Indiana Magazine of History in June 1991 in an article on Quakers and the antislavery movement. The loss of the women's minutes of New Hope Monthly Meeting in Greene County, Tenn., means that there is no record of Jemima in Hinshaw's abstracts. She married out of meeting, but apparently kept or regained her membership. Jemima was received from New Hope at Spiceland MM in Henry Co., Ind., in 1839. This is in the three-year period (1837-1840) when Duck Creek was laid down and its members attached to Spiceland. In 1850 the Waldens were in Howard County, Indiana. It appears that neither Reuben nor any of the children were Friends. Tom Hamm > Looking for any information on the below Reuben Walden and Jemima Wright.

(The parenthesis around Jesse's name were in the Heiss records. Sounds like he might already be deceased?) There is a Jemima WALDRON (sic) who was at Duck Creek Meeting. It does not say where she came from or when but in 1847, she got a certificate to transfer her membership to Back Creek MM in Grant Co, IN. Jemima WALDEN (sic) was received at Back Creek MM in 1848, from Duck Creek, but with the notation that she and the certificate of transfer were to go on to Honey Creek MM in Howard Co, IN. Jemima WALDEN is shown as having been received by Honey Creek MM--but there is no further mention of her. Sounds as though Reuben was either deceased or was not an active Quaker at that time. A quick check of the 1850 IN census records does not show either Reuben Walden or Jemima Walden listed. Joyce Joyce Overman Bowman Indianapolis, IN

I am looking for any info on Winslow Elliott, b. 1 JUN 1766, Perquimans Co. NC ; son of Solomon Elliott and Miriam Winslow. Thanks

Looking for any information on the below Reuben Walden and Jemima Wright. I am trying to find out if Jemima Wright Walden was Jemima, the daughter of Jesse Wright and Anna Clearwater. The Wrights moved from Greene Co., TN to Henry Co., IN in about 1835. Possibly Reuben and Jemima moved with them. Checked Reuben and Jemima Walden in Hinshaw and could not find either. If anyone has access to the Heiss records, I would appreciate a lookup for this family. Jacob Wright and Anna Clearwater Wright belonged to Duck Creek in Henry Co. Maybe Reuben and Jemima could have belonged to the same meeting. From Greene Co., TN Marriages 1783 - 1868 by Goldene Fillers Burgner.

Wow! Jean, your organization is really wonderful! I just returned from Warren County, Ohio where I was looking at Elliotts, Thomas's and McKinseys who moved with the Quaker families from NC and SC in the early 1800's. I have a little bit of new information that I will share as soon as I have time. I can't wait to read your info, Jean....but it has hit at an exceptionally busy time for me. I'll get back with you as soon as I get a few hours. I have quite a bit of information on Abraham and Abraham Jr. (the Abraham who was brother to my Jacob who married Elizabeth and his son named Abraham) because I was years figuring out the three Abraham's who showed up in the Randolph County Censuses. If no one else shares that, I'll send it along when I get time. And I have a list of Abraham and Rachel's children. What I don't have is proof that Abraham's wife was named Rachel. At least it is not documented in my data base. When I get time, I'll look in my files and piles to see why I put Rachel as name for Abraham's wife. Remind me of my promise. This big breakthrough on my Elliott family has been so much fun and so exciting. For anyone just starting to read my information, it started when I found Abraham's will two years ago with a trip to Ft. Wayne Indiana ( I had a measley two hours there....but VERY worthwhile). To clarify this is Abraham Elliott who was the son of Jacob Elliot married to Elizabeth who moved from Pa to NC in 1763. The Abraham whose will I have was born to this couple in 1765. I still have not seen the orginal will --what I have in my files is a transcription. Then I found an article for Abraham's son, Joab, who died childless in Crawfordsville, Indiana which had wonderful information about Joab's ancestry. I will be happy to share that with you as well....again remind me of my promise. Thanks for sharing your Elliott report! I'll be back in touch.
