I am a descendant of Jonathan Parkins, who is supposed to have married Mary Davis. The Parkins moved from Hopewell MM in Frederick Co., VA to Concord MM in Belmont Co., and Salem MM in Columbiana Co. Ohio between 1800 and 1810. I would like to exchange information with others descending from this couple. I have information from Frederick Co. and earlier on the Parkins line, and on descendants of Hannah and Ruth Parkins, both daughters of Jonathan and Mary, but have no proof of their marriage, names of Mary's parents, or information about their movements in Ohio.

I don't know if you're investigating the early end or the late end of that family, but there is one thing that might help you find records at the early end. If you try to find wills or deeds or other records about these families, they will not be in Guilford records prior to 1771. The law creating Guilford County was passed in 1770, but it did not start administration of its territory until 1 April 1771. Therefore, any record prior to that time -- and any vital event in the 1760s -- would belong to Rowan or Orange counties of NC -- assuming they were actual jurisdictions at the time in question. The western 2/3 of Guilford came from Rowan, and the eastern 1/3 came from Orange. You would need to look in the two parent counties for those records. Online and downloadable PDF versions of NC county formation maps can be found linked to this page: http://www.ncgenweb.us/county-list And the membership of monthly meetings like New Garden and others in the Guilford area extended over a wide area, including nearby counties, so land deeds and census records are a better indication of where the family actually lived at the time a child was born or a person died. *Katherine Benbow **NCGenWeb Western Piedmont Regional Coordinator* * * On Tue, Sep 25, 2012 at 11:38 AM, Evelynne Ritter <oklady41@wildblue.net>wrote: > *Issac Franklin HAMMER was born on 20Nov1763, Guilford, Guilford Co., NC to > Abraham Obediah HAMMER Sr & Rachel Rebecca Meeting.

Ruth Brindle Dobyns will discuss the range of Quaker attitudes toward, and involvement in, the 19th century anti-slavery movement. ________________________________ Ruth Brindle Dobyns is the Curator of the Meriam R.

I'd query Judy Russell about this or similar questions; she's done a lot of work with old phrases and legal terms over all American time periods (including colonial), is a lawyer and genealogist herself. She has in the past provided much info, including links to obscure law dictionaries, etc, on her fascinating blog athttp://www.legalgenealogist.com/blog SJ

I looked up on the internet and Bing Dictionary has one definition as an unmarried women in legal documents: in some legal documents, a woman who has never married. Merrian-Webster dictionary definition 2 a - a archaic: an unmarried woman of gentie family. 2b - an unmarried woman and especially one past the common age for marrying. It also can mean a woman whose occupation is to spin. I believe in 1700s/1800s legal documents a widow might be shown as a spinster. So do not take from a legal documents that the person has never married. She may or may not have.

This makes me think of a Will that I have that was written before the Revolutionary War. In it is says that Margaret Smith, single woman does give to her son 6 shillings and to her daughter her farm and her clothing and furniture and to her grand daughter upon her 18th birthday 27 pounds and some other stuff, etc. Would the words single woman mean that she had never married or was divorced or widowed? I have been trying to find this out for years. Any ideas out there?

You mentioned seeing the term "single man" in reference to a widower, but have you or anyone else on the list ever seen the term "bachelor" applied to a widower?  Just as a previous poster points out in regard to the distinction between spinster and widow, we know the modern-day definition of bachelor.  I am just trying to clarify if it would have had the same meaning nearly 300 years ago (as fyi, this term of "bachelor" was applied to one of my ancestors in a marriage record in 1726; but, for a number of different reasons, I don't know if the marriage really was his first marriage).   Thanks.   David Brown From: Chris Dickinson <chris@dickinson.uk.net> To: "quaker-roots@rootsweb.com" <quaker-roots@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, September 6, 2012 4:45 AM Subject: Re: [Q-R] Spinster vs. Widow   It is possible.

I think all of us know the distinction between spinster and widow. However, I am wondering if in 17th century England there might be times when a widow would be referred to as a spinster? Gordon Trueblood

I don't have anything that will be of help to you, Sam, on your Job line. However, I just completed a post on my blog: http://www.marshamoses.blogspot.com Today's post is meant for my brothers who do no Quaker research, so it is more of an overview of my own Quaker families. However, if anyone has extra time and energy today would you take a look at my article (or if lots of time articles).

Dear Friends: >From 2000 onward I was the administrator of several family history sites which had been created to encourage communications among researchers with similar interests. For entertainment, and to have something new on the sites each day, I searched and found quotes about genealogy and history in general. I think that at one time I subscribed to a "quote a day" service also. At the same time I was struggling myself with a couple of big research and writing projects, so I was always interested in what authors had to say about their own perspectives and writing, research, and life in general. I added those quotations to my collections. We have now come to a time when the private research sites no longer have the use or readership they once did. As we are closing them down for lack of funding and interest, I took all my daily quotes and put them here both for myself and for the entertainment of others. Goodness! A lot of people have a lot to say about the struggles of research and writing! And also, because my sites were devoted to family history and, especially, the records of many families in early America, I found that I have some Patriotic quotes, some Cemetery restoration quotes, and, of course, some refugee quotes. !!!!!Twelve years ago, when I started the collection, it would have been difficult to track down the exact source for each quote. Nowadays, most of them can be easily found by copying the entire phrase, with quotation marks around it, into a search engine. This procedure is what I’d suggest for those of you who might want to include a quote in a work you are creating.!!!! So, for what it’s worth, here is my collection, with my favorite quote as Number One and with a humble attempt at indexing. Enjoy! http://askgrannyus.posterous.com/genealogical-quotations If you have additions, please send them to me for inclusion in the "2nd Edition!"
