Thought this might be of interest. I found a copy online of "Pennsylvania at the Jamestown Exposition Hampton Roads, Virginia 1907"- http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=njp.32101042796571;seq=7;view=1up Attached is a brief summery of the involvement of Marianna G. Brubaker and others who contributed to the Pennsylvania Exhibit at Hampton Roads, Virginia, 1907. There are good photos w/signatures of Albert Cook Myers and Marion Dexter Learned on page 142 and 143. There are photos of the exhibit on pages 120, 126, 133 & 135. The Pennsylvania Exhibit was an amazing collection of hundreds of items including Underground Railroad evidence that would be priceless to have today. ACM & MDL did a fantastic job of putting it together. rlc

In 1907 Marianna Gibbons Brubaker of Bird-in-Hand, Lancaster Co., Pa., lent a collection of photos and oil portraits of early anti-slavery Quakers from Adams & Lancaster Cos., to Charles H. Lambert for the display in Virginia. I don't have proof, but I believe that Albert Cook Myers was involved. Has anyone heard about the 1907 Expo? Are there any ideas of what happened to Marianna's collection? Among the items displayed were four life size, bust, oil portraits of Daniel & Hannah (Wierman) Gibbons, painted in 1852 and William & Phebe (Wierman) Wright. Robert L. Cooke

While looking for something else I came across this article and thought there might be some interest. rlc NAZIGOVERNMENT GIVES APPROVAL TO QUAKER PLAN The DesertNews, Salt Lake City Utah, January 3, 1939 PHILADELPHIA,Jan. 3.---(AP)--- The Nazi government was reported today to have given itsapproval of a program under which American Quakers propose to provide immediaterelief for non-Aryans in Germany and to speed the emigration of Jews to othercountries. The program was described by Dr.Rufus M. Jones, leader of a three-man delegation representing the AmericanFriends (Quakers) service committee, which returned yesterday from a month’svisit to Germany to study the situation first hand. Dr. Jones, a Haverford Collegeprofessor, said the Reich government had promised “fullest cooperation” inestablishing relief stations throughout the country to supply food, money andother assistance to approximately 600,000 men and women. Under the plan for acceleratingemigration, Dr. Jones said 150,000 heads of Jewish families would be sent to“transient camps” to be setup outside Germany pending the establishment ofpermanent colonies. “German authorities concede thatsome 200,000 Jews will be left in Germany,” the delegation’s spokesmen added.“These are the old, the infirm and the very poor. “Taking away those 200,000leaves some 400,000 persons to be gotten out of Germany. The German authoritiesthink if 150,000 of the most virile and vigorous—the heads of families—can betaken out and well settled in other parts of the world, then in the course ofvery few years they will be able to move their families and absorb the rest ofthe 400,000.” Dr. Jones said that of the600,000 persons he estimated were in need of assistance, 400,000 were Jews. The Quakers have obtainedpermission of the German government, Dr. Jones said, to send commissionersthere to supervise the relief work. Funds for the work will be raised among themembership of the society.

Good Morning, I'm trying to find some records for Joseph Inman who was the son of Ozial Inman and Ruth Eddy. Joseph was born in 1864 and died in 1828. His parents were married through the Quaker faith and I'm looking for proof that their son was a Quaker. He was married to Lillis Mathewson and they divorced about 1802. Thank you, Brenda Ozog

Brenda Ozog, Smithfield Monthly Meeting, in Providence County, Rhode Island, with some members living in nearby southern Massachusetts, is still active. I worshiped there several years ago. Its website is down this morning, but you can review details of its existence and records here: https://www.quakermeetings.com/Plone/meeting_view?anID=338 So, assuming his dates were 1764-1828, the vital records (birth, death, marriage, membership) have been retained and stored in the New England Yearly Meeting archives at the Rhode Island Historical Society in Providence. The Genealogical Society of Utah made five reels of microfilm of Smithfield records, and you could review the microfilm either at the Rhode Island Historical Society or have it called from Salt Lake City to any Family History Center, that is, at most large LDS local churches. So far as I know, New England Y.M. is not part of the on-going digitalization process for many Quaker records due to debut on Ancestry.com in early 2013. One might be able to view the LDS microfilm online, but I have never learned how to do that.

The Seth and Mary Edith Hinshaw Fellowship provides up to $2,000 for research using the resources of the Friends Historical Collection at Guilford College to study an aspect of southern Quaker history. The fellowship is sponsored by the North Carolina Friends Historical Society to encourage research and use of the Friends Historical Collection. The recipient will be asked to present his/her research and findings at the Society’s annual meeting. We invite applications from a range of backgrounds: dissertation, post-doctoral, and non-academic. We anticipate that the most competitive applications will involve innovative projects of the many concerns to which Friends have turned their attention, including literature, women's issues, family history, and race relations, as well as religious doctrine and controversies. Applications will be evaluated according to the following criteria: • demonstrated understanding of the applicability of our particular holdings to the anticipated project. • probability that the project will result in a product that will advance the worlds' understanding of the multiple dimensions of religion. • evidence of the applicant's prior familiarity with and effective use of similar collections. Application deadline for the 2013 fellowship is *February 15, 2013*. Applicants should send the following materials as PDF attachments to archives@guilford.edu and also mail a print copy to Gwen Gosney Erickson, Friends Historical Collection, Guilford College, 5800 West Friendly Avenue, Greensboro, NC 27410: • a three-to-five page statement of research goals, including what progress has been made to date; a statement of how this project will further greater understanding and/or scholarship by placing Southern Quaker history in the context of your subject area, an assessment of how Guilford's materials can further its progress, and an estimate of when the project is expected to be completed. • a current vita or resume • if applicant's background does not include published work, include a writing sample • the names and addresses of three references who are familiar with both the field in which the applicant proposes to work, and with the applicant's work. Please inform your references that they could be contacted. • permanent and any temporary addresses (e-mail and postal) and phone numbers Friends Historical Collection Guilford College 5800 West Friendly Avenue Greensboro, NC 27410 USA 336-316-2264 www.guilford.edu/fhc

Exactly how a Quaker date should be interpreted as a modern date is debateable. Given that the 'new year' started on Lady Day (25th March), the 14th of the 11th month can be calculated in different ways. Which is why you should never transcribe a Quaker date as anything other than that!   The date provided on an inventory is pretty much up to the person writing it. If you had a convinced Quaker doing the inventory, then I guess you would get just such a date. I only have experience of English inventories, and can't remember seeing such a description of the month (common enough in wills), but certainly the year in an inventory was 'Old Style'. New Jersey practices may be different.   If you have some other independent primary source that states Bernard died in January 1695, then that's when he died. If the source is secondary, then the January may be in question, but the 1695 certainly isn't. Generally, inventories were taken very rapidly after death (quite often on the same day).     Chris         >________________________________ > From: "idirlion@me.com" <idirlion@me.com> >To: "QUAKER-ROOTS@rootsweb.com" <QUAKER-ROOTS@rootsweb.com> >Sent: Wednesday, 14 November 2012, 21:14 >Subject: [Q-R] dates > >I have an inventory for a prominent, late Quaker, Bernard Devonish, in New Jersey. > >The date says "the 14th 11th mo 1694" > >So, would that mean Jan 14 1695? > >That is, would the - civil - recording of an inventory after someone's death be written using Quaker dating? > >Since Bernard died in January 1695...this is what I assume. > >Is that right? > >Thanks. > >Paul > >------------------------------- >To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to QUAKER-ROOTS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > >

I have an inventory for a prominent, late Quaker, Bernard Devonish, in New Jersey. The date says "the 14th 11th mo 1694" So, would that mean Jan 14 1695? That is, would the - civil - recording of an inventory after someone's death be written using Quaker dating? Since Bernard died in January 1695...this is what I assume. Is that right? Thanks. Paul

*The Gest Fellowship for Study in the Haverford College Quaker Collection* Each year Haverford College Special Collections offers several one-month, $2,000 fellowships to researchers who are interested in using the unique resources of the Quaker Collection. We invite applications from researchers at various stages in their career and from any discipline. The most competitive applications creatively explore concerns to which Friends have turned their attention, including literature, mysticism, women’s issues, family history, race relations, and American Indian affairs, as well as religious doctrine and controversies. Application requirements, deadlines and a complete list of past fellows and their topics are available at http://www.haverford.edu/library/special/gest_ fellowship/ The Quaker Collection The Quaker Collection was founded in 1833 and presently consists of some 35,000 printed volumes and 300,000 manuscripts. Our holdings span the history of Quakerism from 17th-century Britain to the present day in many parts of the world. Information by and about the Society of Friends can be accessed here in many formats and categories. Highlights include the Jenks Collection of early books and pamphlets, meeting records, organization and family papers, journals and diaries, English and American Quaker serials, and a comprehensive collection of Quaker fiction. Because of Quaker involvement in the social justice movement and Pennsylvania's location in the history of the United States, these materials also lend themselves to many kinds of study beyond the Society of Friends.

As a result, I can only offer the most general of responses. To answer your request would require a look at original records, which are generally only available in research libraries or in some cases via loan from the Mormon library in Salt Lake City. Both of these involve expense, either for travel or for shipping. Therefore, I think you will have to do your own research. I recommend http://www.quakermeetings.com/ to you. There you can look up the specific meeting where your event took place. Among the information returned will be details on what records of the meeting exist, where they are kept, and what microfilms have been made. Having said that, I must say that in decades of hobby-level research in original Quaker records or microfilms of them, I can't recall ever having seen an original signature. The records I have seen are entirely in the handwriting of the clerks. -- Dan Treadway P. O. Box 72 Gilbert IA 50105 treadway@netins.net http://showcase.netins.net/web/treadway/

Helen, From a partial (unfinished) list of Friends-meeting properties in Baltimore Yearly Meeting, we know that John Cornthwait was one of two trustees in 1773 and Jonathan Cornthwait and Robert Cornthwait were two of the four trustees who in 1779 received title to the first Quaker meetinghouse in Baltimore. I have not yet run down the actual deeds in the on-line MDLANDREC listing every deed in any Maryland county, but one could go into that database to search for the Cornthwait[e] names separate from meeting properties.
