Hello: My ancestor, Rowland Powell, died in Burlington, NJ in 1727. Is there an extant Quaker Burial ground from that time period? Is the Burlington Meeting house still standing? I'm thinking of driving down to take photos if there is still a meeting house and burial ground. Thanks, Steven -- Steven C.

Good morning, Does anyone on this list know where in Tennessee, or what area the Quaker's resided? I have an ancestor whose first name was Mourning and I was told that it was a Quaker name. Her last name, married was Mitchel/Mitchell and they moved to Alabama abt 1830. Any help or ideas would be much appreciated as this line has been very hard to trace.

Dear Quaker Roots: I am looking for help in a genealogical search as detailed below. I found a link that references quaker roots > http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/QUAKER-ROOTS/1999-05/0927487980 In order to find 18th century records for MaidenCreek and Exeter/Oley would I best direct inquiries to Swarthmore/Haverford? The link above from 1998 suggests so. I would prefer it if there was an online access.... but any suggestion you'd give would be most appreciated. Thank you for your help.

I am so glad to say it's time to start looking ahead to our planned Bush River Quaker Homecoming, Newberry SC, scheduled for May 2 - 5, 2013. To get things started, your planning committee *really needs to hear* if you are planning/hoping to coming and get your input with answers to the following questions: 1. Are you hoping or planning to be at the Homecoming? Please give us your thoughts *as of now* so we can begin getting a feel for the numbers involved. 2. What activities are you interested in: a. Newberry County and near by sites b. Union County Quaker sites tour c. Research opportunities in Newberry or other places in SC d. Quaker Meeting on Sunday morning e. presentation about departure of Quakers to the Mid West and their settlements there f. Small group activities and workshops. We need your help and leadership of such group discussions if we want to have them. Below is a list of topics that have been suggested since our last meeting. Please let us now if you are interested in participating and facilitating such groups as the ones below, or any others you might suggest: 1. dna in research 2. other Quaker cemeteries 3. Website Development...(thanks to Forrest Plumstead, we have a good start here at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~bushriverquakers/Index.html) 4. Ideas for tombstone repair and replacement 5. future publications, 6. attempts to find the foundations of the old meeting house, 7. National Historic Register nomination, 8. possibility of getting a Ground Penetrating Radar assessment of the Bush River site. 3. We will need help with local arrangements after we get to Newberry. We will have to wait and see how many folks will be attending to see what kind of (all important!) dining opportunities we will have. Can you help with this? We are looking forward to hearing whether you are planning on coming and your thoughts about what you'd like to do while in Newberry!! Best wishes, Judy Russell

Details on the Kentucky raid here > > > > > > > https://urscc.org/1847_Kentucky_Raid.html Also, if anyone runs across anyone named Dixon in the course of your Cass County research, I'd appreciate a heads-up. My great-great grandfather, Willis L Dixon (1821-1893), and his wife, Marion Olds Dixon (1832-1900), lived near Volinia. They were not Quakers, as far as I know, though they were supposedly hardcore abolitionists. The best piece of evidence I have for that is the fact that they named one of their sons (my great grandfather) Charles Sumner Dixon, after the rabidly abolitionist U.S. senator from Massachusetts, Charles Sumner.

Susa; I have not been active in any of my genealogical pursuits for awhile(life has gotten in my way-cancer/moving/a new job) however, my own ancestors were very anti -slavery in the Birch Lake MM and many of my family is buried in the Birch Lake (formerly East)Cemetery which is across the road from where the meeting house stood. i do not know where their records are held and will be curious to see if anyone responds to this thread.   the family name that most jumps out of my history is East-and the East family was quite involved in the Kentucky  Raid which , I believe, was cenetred in St Joseph Cty just east of Cass Cty.   I have visited and photographed the Birch Lake  cemetery and it is quite lovely.   while this reply doesn't answer any of your questions-sorry!- i had to interject.

Hi All, I was trying to find out info on records in Smithfield, RI and I attempted to call the info I got but no one responds. I'm looking for proof of Joseph Inman (b 1764) was a Quaker. His parents were and were listed in records on line but there is nothing available for Joseph. Any ideas? Thanks, Brenda Denver, CO

Susa, I think the key to most of your questions is http://www.quakermeetings.com/. This will tell what meetings existed when, and where surviving records can be seen. You should be able to find contact information for the Quaker colleges on their web sites. I know Earlham's is http://www.earlham.edu/. Click on Academics, then Libraries, then Quaker Collection. I suspect other colleges are not too different. -- Dan Treadway P. O.

To All, My elusive "john Cox" while seemingly a Quaker, was one of those "early to the gate", adventure types that seemed always to be the first in an area where there were only Quakers and then to move on when it became rather established. It seems that he was involved in Land transactions. There are Quaker settlements in all of the various locations that John Cox and his assorted relatives have settled, however; I can't seem to locate where those records might be kept. I have searched through the two Volume set of Ohio Records, and the 6 vols of Heiss records for Indiana . all to no avail. Various Brothers & Sisters: Samuel, Alexander, William, Church Jr., Stewart, Mary, Nancy, Tacey (Tacy) COX Associated Surnames: Fry, Below is listed the MM or Preparatory Meetings with whom this family seems to be associated : (Going Backward from their final destination in South Western Michigan) These last seem to be ANTI-Slavery 0. 1858 Vandalia-Penn Cass Co. Michigan (This location is a quarter of an hour West . by horse) 1. 1840-laid down Young's Prairie, Penn Cass Co. Michigan ( Progenitor, Elizabeth Conway Cox, buried in Young's Prairie Cemetery) 2. 1830-40 Birch Lake, Penn Cass Co. Michigan ( not Anti-Slavery ) ( This location is a quarter of an hour East . by horse ) 3. 1829-34 La Porte, Deer Creek, Clear Lake, Clinton, Indiana various county locations ( Anti-Slavery) Quaker Cemetery in North La Porte (town) That is said to have 400 graves all unmarked with the exception of field stones. There was a Meeting House at this La Porte location. 4. 1818-30 Guernsey Co., Ohio (Londonderry -Smyrna?) Church Cox his cousin settled here and John was here 1920-1930 ( +-) 5. 1818-30 Jefferson Co. Harrison and Belmont, Ohio ( They may have stopped in any one of these counties first before settling in Guernsey Co.) 6. 1820-1778 Cumberland-Perry-Mifflin-Juniata Co. First recorded Tax assessment in "78" 1. This was the progression of the counties that this area was listed under. This family was in the same Juniata area from before the Revolution but I have not been able to find the actual names of the early Quaker meetings. 7. 1778 - 1750 York, Dauphine or Chester Some of the families could have been in these areas. 8. 1778 - ca. 1720 Philadelphia, Pa. John could have been born here prior to family moving to Juniata, up the Susquehanna. 9. 1750 - 1650 Londonderry, Co. Antrim, Ireland 10. Earliest Scotland . or England Any help with these issues would be greatly appreciated, I realize that there are several answers to what seems to be the overriding questions: 1. Do lists of the meetings exist? 2. Is there a map with the locations in existence? 3. Where are the early records kept? a. Earlham . How to Contact? b. Swarthmore.. How to Contact? c. Others? I have heard rumors . i. ____________ ii. ____________ iii. ____________ iv. ____________ Any help would be greatly appreciated .. I have about exhausted the LDS and Ancestry resources!
