One book, on a microfilm, gave me the idea that they were not highly involved. Since the book, Swains of Nantucket, Tales and Trails, now has , for me, a huge history of my line and cousins, and I don't yet know how everyone is related, I noticed some that were involved, in this book I browsed, and some that were not. I also found a two volume book that includes Shubael Swain's grandparents, Ebenezer Swain and Lydia Gyles, but not his parents, Ebenzer Swain and Lydia Ellis. Does anyone have any research on the Swain involvement with the Society. It is going to take me time to figure all of this out as well as catch up on all of your conversations since I left. I have them in an email folder, and I am now learning about Nantucket and want to know more about the Society of Friends. I don't think my grandfather was a member, as his daughter, in NYC, married Isaac Leggett, twin brother of Abraham Leggett, in a Methodist Church. Abraham but not Isaac is listed in Henshaws Encyclopedia. Why did Henshaw not include Mass in his enormous collection- that was very disappointing- Sue Maxwell ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
