To Quaker Researchers who are interested in families from the Bush River MM in SC: I sent the note below to the Bush River group this morning. Besides the cancellation of this spring's SC meeting, there is a reference to the thought developing for a Homecoming in and near Waynesville, OH. I thought that some of you would be interested in hearing more about that meeting as it develops. I'll be keeping the Bush River rootsweb list informed as I hear details. If you have thoughts or suggestions about a meeting in the Waynesville area, you could send them to me (jrussell2@charter.net) and I'll forward them to the planning committee so that they can get back to you. Best wishes, Judy Russell Bush River Quaker Cemetery Clean Up Committee ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hello to all descendants and researchers of Bush River Quakers: I am very sorry to have to let everyone know that we will not be having our proposed Homecoming for Bush River Quakers which was scheduled for May 3 -5, 2013 in Newberry SC. The good news is that, based upon several excellent suggestions, tentative plans are in the works for a meeting in and near Waynesville, OH, to which area most of the Bush River families emigrated. This is an area most of us have never visited and it looks absolutely full of Quaker and other historic places. I hope that we'll be hearing more details about this proposed meeting in the coming months. In the meantime, please accept my thanks for all that you have done to make our email list of researchers and descendants such a special one! When we first started our email group, 12 years ago, our purpose was to preserve and protect the Bush River Burial Ground and to make it accessible every day of the year. We are still able to say that this goal is being met. With your help, we'll continue to do this work. If you have questions or thoughts about the future, please let the group or me personally know (jrussell2@charter.net) Thanks so much, Judy Russell

Yesterday Vivian M. sent out an email to Bush River Quakers for me entitled "Notice to All." Somehow I had gotten into rootsweb's bad graces and spam filters and my messages wouldn't go through, so she graciously agreed to help out. I will not repeat the web name or links that were in that message, lest I offend the spam filters again, but I did want to say that the message contained important info about some Bush River Quaker files that I uploaded on a free website that will be disappearing soon. The pdf files are available there for printing or downloading. Here is the link to her message, in case you missed it yesterday: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/SC-BUSHRIVERQUAKERS/2013-02/1362078133 Thank you, Vivian! Judy Russell

I am researching the above couple. So far the only constant I have found is inconsistency. Dates of birth are contested, age is contest, When Mary Jane was kidnapped by the Indians is contested. So on and so on, adnausium.after 200 years you would think somebody has found primary sources to settle all of this. Does anybody know of any definitive story which would clear this up? -- 73 WB5HQO Forrest Ham Radio WB5HQO <http://forrest.3h.com/main.html> Plumstead and Associated Families<http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~fplum/> Webmaster for BUSH RIVER QUAKER CEMETERY<http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~bushriverquakers/Index.html> NAQCC Member # 3678 FPQRP # 2642 SKCC Member # 6855 QRPadillo # 59

The reason I started this whole thread, was I found a note for Hanna Burson Griffith that she was buried at this cemetery. As I was adding or editing names in my new database if I found a burial I would look up on Find-A-Grave. If the person was not listed I would create a memorial. Then put the URL in that person's notes. I could not find the cemetery by either the old or the new name, and I was not going to create a cemetery with only one name in it. Thanks everybody for the information you have provided.

This is one of the better stories I've found and thought there might be interest. From his point of view, it seems that Harmon Cook is mulatto. I think his mother might have been colored. Harmon Cook was the son of Robert & Diannah (Cox) Cook and a grandson of *John & Mary (Furnas) Cook. Darius Bowles Cook, (1856-1936) who wrote the book, was the son of William Henderson & Keziah (Bowles) Cook and a grandson of *Peter & Keziah (Henderson) Cook. *John Cook (1796-1864) and *Peter Cook (1805-1880) are sons of Joseph & Mary (Harbert) Cook. I found Redfield, Iowa on Google Earth and it still looks rural. Old man Murray's farm and John Cook's farm might still exist. One evening some months after I was returning from Adel on horseback and when opposite Mr. Murray's farm, east of Redfield, I saw old man Murray and a stranger back of the barn. I was motioned to come over, which I did, and was met by an old man rather stooped-shouldered and of stern aspect. Mr. Murray said, "Here is the youngster who came so near getting caught going to Des Moines." The stern man with his shaggy eyebrows almost in my face said, "Young man, when you are out on the Lord's business you must be more discreet. You must always listen backwards, as you are always followed. I am responsible for that track of the Underground Railroad, and I want my conductors to be more careful in the future, as things are coming to a head, and somebody is going to get hurt." I was dismissed with this admonition, "Young man, never do so rash a thing again as to talk and laugh out loud on the way!" A few months later, when Harper's Ferry was known to fame, I remembered John Brown as the old man at Murray's. When I enlisted in Company C, 46th Iowa Infantry and arrived at Tennessee, in 1864, I first saw a regiment of colored soldiers. They were in camp and the first opportunity, I was over to see how they looked as soldiers. When I had spoken, a strapping fellow in blue uniform came rushing up to me shouting, "I know you. You belong to Quaker Divide in Iowa. You drove me one night when we were trying to get into town and were followed by our masters, and you drove off into the woods and we got out and hid." It was Henry, who had been one of the party in that wild midnight ride. He never got to Canada, but stopped in Wisconsin, and when the war came on he enlisted. He was lieutenant of the colored regiment, and a trusted scout for the general of our division. "History of Quaker Divide" pages 204, 205; Darius B. Cook, Dexter, Iowa, 1914. (Internet) rlc

I see "Deenah" Cox daughter of Harmon and Martha of Hendricks County, married Robert Cook, son of John and Mary Cook of Marion County, married 9-24-1840 under the care of Fairfield Meeting, Indiana. In 1846, Robert and Diana Cook and children Harmon, John, and Joseph transfer to Sugar Plain Meeting, Indiana. Robert dies there in 1852. In 1853, Diana Cook and children Harmon, John, Joseph and Ezra transfer from Sugar Plain to Fairfield, and Fairfield Meeting endorses the certificate on to White Lick Meeting, Indiana. At Sugar Grove Meeting House, under the care of White Lick Meeting, on 8-23-1855, Diana Cook, daughter of Harmon and Martha Cox, married Joshua Newlin, son of John and Esther. In the spring of 1857, Plainfield Meeting, Indiana, was set off from White Lick Meeting. The fall of that same year, Joshua and Diana Newlin and her children Harmon, John, Joseph, and Ezra Cook transferred membership to Bear Creek Meeting, Iowa. I am interested in Harmon Cook and his descendants because his wife was Lucinda Mills, a gg grand-daughter of Daniel and Mary (Humphrey) Williams. He was, among other things, part of the Underground Railroad, and a soldier in the Civil War. My notes on Harmon Cook are here: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=treadway&id=I13393 and my work on the descendants of Daniel and Mary Williams is here: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=REG&db=treadway&id=I3620 If you are a descendant of Harmon Cook, I'd love to have your help in bring his branch of this tree up to date! -- Dan Treadway P.

Can anyone tell me who Diana's parent's were and who she is married to? She is referenced to as a "daughter-in-law" of John Cook (1796-1864) in Bear Creek, Dallas Co., Iowa. John and his first wife, Mary Furnas (1796-1830) had five sons of six children and with John's second wife Anna Sumner (1803-1869) two sons reached maturity. There doesn't appear to be any available sons for Diana to marry... the closest link I can see, is Diannah Cox the wife of Robert Cook, b. June 25, 1818, but she doesn't have anything to do with this... Thanks, Robert

Yes, it still exists.

Forrest - the Zanesville Friends burial ground is located near the southeast corner of Falls Township just west of downtown Zanesville, on the west side of Licking Road just south of I-70. At some time in the 20th century, all the tombstones were collected and placed in a circle in the middle of the burial ground.  Zanesville meeting was started under Plainfield MM and transferred to Stillwater MM in 1822. The meeting was so small that when the division of 1828 took place, neither the Orthodox nor the Hicksites were able to sustain a meeting here.  Seth  ________________________________ From: Forrest Plumstead <fplum1@gmail.com> To: Quaker Roots <QUAKER-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 10:57 AM Subject: [Q-R] Old Quaker Cemetery, Zanesville, Muskingum Co., Ohio Is anybody familiar with this cemetery?
