Following Willard Heiss' /Abstracts of the Records of the Society of Friends in Indiana/, part 6, page 1, I have been citing Fairfield Monthly Meeting as being in Hendricks County. It has now been pointed out to me that Tom Hill's index at <http://www.quakermeetings.com/viewRecord_display?anID=TST690L> gives a location in Marion County. Did the meeting or the county line move at some point, or is one of these sources in error? -- Dan Treadway P O Box 72 Gilbert IA 50105 treadway@netins.net http://showcase.netins.net/web/treadway/
I believe Heiss was correct & Tom Hill is mistaken. At the time set off from White Lick MM, Fairfield MM was in Hendricks County, however I think a majority of its membership resided in Marion co,IN (notably at Easton (West Newton), & Beech Grove as well as Richland MM in Hamilton co,IN as well as at Plainfield MM, Hendricks co,IN. One researcher refers to the old Fairlield Mtg House in Hendricks County, near Camby [in Marion co,IN]. Camby is just across the County Line .
