Michael, I generally have not transcribed monthly-meeting records, just quarterly-meeting records to help me trace monthly-meeting establishment and discontinuance. My Friendsville transcriptions resulted from my dismay that several volumes of records stored in a vault at the Friendsville MM meetinghouse were damaged in a flood in the 1960s or 1970s. About 1979 I had my secretaries start the transcriptions and then I proofed and corrected them. For a few volumes I also used old WordPerfect 5.1 software to generate a family-name index. I believe I have donated a copy of each of the transcriptions to the Genealogical Society of Utah for the LDS microfilm collection and to most of the major Quaker libraries (Swarthmore, Haverford, Guilford, Earlham, Wilmington College of Ohio). Here are the minute typescripts I can identify in my files, with the contents copied from the cover page: MEN'S MINUTES NEWBERRY (ALSO NEWBURY) MONTHLY MEETING FIFTH MONTH, 1808 TO EIGHTH MONTH, 1848 [Swarthmore's catalog says I included an index] NEWBERRY MONTHLY MEETING [Men's Minutes] Sixth Month, 3rd, 1871 to Seventh Month, 4th, 1874 [my retained copy is indexed] The note below indicates that I also arranged a typescript of Newberry MM Women's minutes for 1856-1873, but I cannot identify where I might have stored the electronic version. I recall that there were also some typescripts of Maryville MM men's and women's minutes damaged in the flood, but I cannot find copies here or references on my website and you will have to look in one of the on-line indices at the above libraries. The original minute books are generally in Tennessee, with microfilm copies made by the Knox County Public Library in Knoxville (one county north of Blount) and provided at least to Wilmington College and Swarthmore's Friends Historical Library. I do not recall ever hearing that the Genealogical Society of Utah received copies of the microfilm. My website says Friendsville MM has on hand the following volumes of records: "Records known extant: FRIENDSVILLE VAULT: MIN 1808-1848 (ts), 1851-1963 (ts 1871-1874), WOMEN MIN 1856-1873 (ts only), 1878-1892, MEMB 1897-1905, 1908-1948, M&O MIN 1893-1964. WILMINGTON: MIN 1808-1848, 1871-1874, WOMEN MIN 1856-1873." I found in the first volume of Newberry MM minutes that John Woody was admitted to membership on application (not transfer) in 1810 and disowned in 1818 for "accomplishing his Marriage contrary to discipline with a woman that is Supposed to have another husband". I find no more references to him, though in 1842, James Woody was the treasurer of a North Carolina Yearly Meeting fund that was having trouble with its Tennessee assessments. Tom Thomas C.

Hi Tom I saw were you had transcribed some of the Newberry MM records, Friendsville, Blount City, TN. Were might I find these records. Would you think or know if the women's records are still around. Mary (Lindley) Woody 1717-1795, wife of John Woody and brother of Thomas Lindley 1706-1781. My notes were that Mary (Lindley) Woody moved from near the Spring MM in (now) Alamance Co., NC. to live with her son John Woody in Friendsville, Blount Co. TN. She was a Quaker all her life, although for a time she was disowned for marrying John Woody who wasn't a Quaker. She was an early member of the Cane Creek MM of which the Spring MM was a branch. I would sure like to know if there was any mention of her in the Quaker records around Friendsville. Here is John Woody and Mary Lindley's entry in my tree, if it is any help. <snip> Thanks in advance for any help. Michael A Woody
