Ryan Jackson, THE JENNINGS QUESTION -- The records of both branches of Miami Monthly Meeting and its daughter Springboro Monthly Meeting (A) are stored at the Wilmington College Quaker Collection in Wilmington, Ohio; (B) have been abstracted in Volume V of Hinshaw's Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy; and (C) have been microfilmed by the Mormons and made available through any Family History Center [at most LDS churches]. My Monthly Meetings in North America entries list the records still existing and the LDS microfilm reel numbers: http://www.quakermeetings.com/meeting_view?anID=TST100L Miami MM, Hicksite/FGC branch http://www.quakermeetings.com/meeting_view?anID=TST103L Miami MM, Orthodox/FUM branch http://www.quakermeetings.com/meeting_view?anID=TST1771L Springboro MM, Hicksite/FGC branch http://www.quakermeetings.com/meeting_view?anID=TST1772L Springboro MM, Orthodox branch Springboro MM (Orthodox) had a Sugar Creek Preparative Meeting at Centerville. In fact Job Jennings was one of the Trustees of Sugar Creek PM, as shown in this excerpt from my Wilmington Yearly Meeting Deed List: 87.

NOTES: (a) "FBG" refers to a Friends Burying Ground. (b) If the Fiduciary Corporation Trustees have obtained the original or a copy of a deed, this report has underlined the deed number. If the Yearly Meeting now holds a copy of the instrument in its archives at Wilmington College, we placed a slash behind the underlined number. To find his wife and children, I would check the Springboro MM records under "Jennings". To find his request to transfer in 1816, I would review the Haddonfield MM minutes, which have probably been microfilmed by the Mormons. But then I do no personal genealogy research. THE THOMAS JACKSON ISSUE -- Haddonfield had a Great Egg Harbor preparative meeting in Atlantic County, NU that later became a monthly meeting on its own. http://www.quakermeetings.com/meeting_view?anID=TST654L There was later an [Orthodox] Little Egg Harbor Monthly Meeting in Ocean County, NJ. http://www.quakermeetings.com/meeting_view?anID=TST1056L Maybe the confusing names complicate your Thomas Jackson searches.

I do not know who his parents or siblings were. He married Mary Ann Cheesman daughter of Peter Cheesman and Ann Ellis. Anyway, Thomas and Mary Ann had the following children: 1) Joseph (my line) married Nancy Morris in 1803. 2) Elizabeth who married Job Jennings, not sure the date. He was the son of Jacob M. Jennings and Ann Albertson. Job was born in the Haddonfield MM. 3) Mary Ann who married Robert Miskelly, Jr. also in 1803. 4) Seward who married Elizabeth Roberts in Ohio. Thomas died in 1796 and the rest of the family stayed in NJ until 1816 when they all moved to Ohio. Which leads me into my questions. In Hinshaw, Job issued a letter of intent to move from the Haddonfield MM to the Miami MM in Ohio in 1816. He actually became a member of the Springboro MM (a subordinate of the Miami). I was wondering how I could obtain a copy of his letter of intent and his acceptance into the Miami MM. Job lived in the Centerville area of Ohio and died in 1863 as an Elder of the Springboro MM. Does this mean that his wife would have been a member also. I have not been able to find anything about her other than that she died in 1856. Job was buried in Rehoboth Cemetery which was a Methodist Church and Cemetery. How could he have been an Elder if his wife was a Methodist? Also, would there children have been born Quaker? I have been able to find marriages of some of their children from the LDS, but not all of them and am wondering if this is because they were Quaker. Any help that you could provide concerning this family would be greatly appreciated. Ryan Jackson
