I have ancestors that I know were Quakers in Maryland, but at the moment I want to ask a question about my ancestors Hugh Wilson b. 1893 in Scotland and Amy Harrison b. 1807 in Shelby County Kentucky (dau. of Reuben Thomas Harrison and Rhoda Paris). The information that I have suggests that they (Hugh and Amy) were long time Quakers, and are buried at a Quaker cemetery in Indianapolis Indiana. Is anyone aware of on line records that may help in searching for them? Thank you, Diane in Iowa

This is a little complicated, since the boundaries of Indianapolis have changed significantly since the nineteenth century. Since 1969 Indianapolis has embraced all of Marion County, Indiana, except for a few towns that were already separately incorporated. There has never been a Quaker cemeery within the old Indianapolis city limits. There are Quaker cemeteries in Decatur Township, in the southwest corner of the county. They are affiliated with very old Quaker meetings that date back to the 1820s: Fairfield, Bridgeport, Center, Lick Branch, and Easton. These folks don't fit a typical Quaker profile. Friends have always been scarce in Scotland in Kentucky.
