He also includes some from meetings just over the line into another state, which were affiliated with Indiana Meetings. In Vol. 5 of his " ....Records of the Society of Friends in Indiana" there is a lot of birth/death/minutes information from Vermillion Meeting, which was located in Vermillion Co, Illinois. He also has info listed in the same volume from Hopewell Meeting, which is in Vermillion Co, Indiana, and from Honey Creek Meeting in Vigo Co, IN. These Meetings, in a small geographical area, seemed to overlap and interact as they were set up, set off, etc. My guess is you would find families that are listed in more than one of these meetings. Hopefully Tom Hill or Dan Treadway will fill us in on why Elwood is not listed in Williard's books of records--maybe it is just because he never found/or was given access to the Elwood Meeting minutes. Some should exist since apparently the Meeting still exists.

Until Hopewell MM was set off from Vermilion in 1873, Vermilion included some Indiana members, which justified its inclusion. But I don't think that Elwood ever did. My wife and I photographed some pre-1900 markers at Elwood in 1996, which we would be glad to share if that would be helpful.

I had forgotten until I saw Marilyn's reply suggesting contacting the Illiana Gen. Soc, that that society published "Friends in Illiana 1826" which is close to 300 pages of records from Elwood, Vermilion, & Hopewell Meetings. There is more than 50 pages of b., d, & other records in it from Elwood Meeting. I have the book, but had forgotten about it until I saw Marilyn's suggestion.
