Here I am again. It is my understanding that an Esther Maddock/Maddox married first a Peter Dicks/Dix. After he died she married a John Mendenhall I believe. My question is: Did John and Esther have any children and if they did, what were their names and birthdates. I think this was in the early 1700's in Pennsylvania I believe. Thanks, Dale

Looking for info on the THOMAS PRICE family. He was lived 1635-1701 Anne Arundel Co.. MD He was married to Elizabeth JOHNSON. Your help would be appreciated. Barbara

I am looking for information about SAMUEL MERRYMAN b. 1694 MD. He married MARY BOONE and had daughter Ketura b. 1717 MD. Any info about any of these people would be appreciated. Barbara

Thank you so much. This is great. I have that Vol. at my library but hadn't looked for Stanley's in it before. On Tue, Apr 10, 2012 at 10:18 PM, John S.

Hinshaw, Vol. I, p. 516, New Garden MM, NC, shows the family of William and Elizabeth Stanley: William Stanley, s.

Here I am again, asking for help. Does anyone out there know the birthdates and names of William Stanley and Elizabeth Walkers children? I think they were probably born in North Carolina. William was born 4 June 1729 in Hanover County, Virginia (I think). Thanks, Dale in California

Subject: Finding Your Roots: Kevin Bacon and Henry Lewis Gates Jr. on PBS on Sunday, April 8, 2012 The "Finding Your Roots" program on PBS hosted by Henry Louis Gates Jr. featuring Kevin Bacon and Kira Sedgwick will be shown on WHYY (Channel 12) in the Philadelphia area on Sunday, April 8, at 8 p.m. Both discover that they have ancestors that opposed slavery. Bacon's Quaker fore bearers rejected slavery in 1780; and a Sedgwick ancestor argued and won the 1781 Mumbat case, which helped end slavery in Massachusetts. Research on Bacon's Quaker and anti-slavery ancestors was done at Friends Historical Library of Swarthmore College and documents from FHL will be featured in the program.

Mark, I agree that while theologically there is nothing "sacred" about a Quaker graveyard, I think if someone started work next to our meeting, took down the fence around the graveyard, put up a wooden barrier on our property and then dug down 20 feet right next to it that we would be up in arms as well. And I suspect we would be using "the world's language" in doing so in order to communicate our visceral reaction, especially if the contractor is convinced he has done "nothing wrong". That happened when he took down the joint fence between the properties without checking with the neighbors, not to mention putting up a wooden barricade on the neighbor's property. When Abington Meeting (Jenkintown, PA) built an addition on top of an old portion of the graveyard in 1932, they were careful not put a basement under that portion of the building so that the ground would be undisturbed. It was especially noted to those of us growing up in the Meeting that some of those buried in that area were Native Americans, as well as early members of the meeting. And at 4th and Arch in Philadelphia the graveyard used in the early 18th century is under the gravel parking lot, and there are clear policies about not digging or disturbing that area below the surface. So we still want those areas treated with respect, even if they have not been "consecrated" as say the Catholics would. I know also that being able to visit the head stones of those who have gone before us is emotionally important to many, including a lot of individual Friends, and it is strikingly callous to go digging in, putting electric poles in, and putting up fences in a graveyard that you have no connection with or responsibility for, even if you don't come across bones or other human remains in the process, as noted in the article. Yes, early Friends practice of not identifying the location of individual graves made a huge statement about humility, but also remember that starting around the middle of the 19th century most Friends cemeteries have low modest markers that do name the occupants of the individual graves, so we have moved towards the practice and understanding of the rest of the world in this as in many other areas. Not to mention the occasional lead in tracking down ancestors we get by visiting cemeteries and making note of the inscriptions. :) Alan -----Original Message----- From: quaker-roots-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:quaker-roots-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of quaker-roots-request@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2012 4:53 PM To: quaker-roots@rootsweb.com Subject: QUAKER-ROOTS Digest, Vol 7, Issue 65 Message: 9 Date: Tue, 03 Apr 2012 16:52:47 -0400 From: "Mark E.

I, too, am descended from Nicholas Newlin to Nathaniel to Elizabeth. I believe a branch of the family moved to North Carolina, as so many Quakers from Chester County, Pennsylvania, did. Nicholas's son was a prominent, public man. You may be interested to know that the grist mill built by Nicholas's son Nathaniel still exists (in Delaware County, in the portion that once was part of Chester County), and is open for tours. The Newlin family is fairly well documented . . . you should be able to find out a lot online and at ancestry.com, as others have suggested. Good luck!

Can you give us the location of the NEWLINS?

I show several Newlins from the very early to mid 1800's apparently migrating from NC to Indiana. Looks like they were marrying my Coffin and Underwood cousins. If a variant of this name is Newland, I have a few of those as well. They were apparently in Kentucky in the 1850's.
