The Columbiana County (Damascus area) Upper Springfield meeting was named after the Burlington County, New Jersey meeting. A search of QuakerMeetings.com collects them all: http://www.quakermeetings.com/search_display?MeetingName=Upper+Springfie ld&County=&StateOrProvince=&generalSearchWord= [single-line link] Someone else on the list would have to explain where the New Jersey vital records are accessed and indexed, beyond the information on my web site as to original records and LDS microfilm reels.

Another family member went to the Western District monthly Meeting. The only Upper Springfield Meeting that I've been able to identify was the one in Columbiana Co, OH. Was there another? and how would I find records for that Meeting other than what Hinshaw has in Encyclopedia Vol. 4? Are the Western District Minutes available somewhere? The people I'm searching are Sarah Beakes Pearson Coleman, husband James Coleman, children Isaac Pearson Coleman and James Beakes Coleman and Elizabeth Coleman. Thanks for any help Merry Anne
