Carolyn, Redstone MM in Brownsville was the most prominent monthly meeting in Fayette County, PA, and the Redstone Quarterly Meeting held there (consisting of Redstone and Westland MMs) was the jumping-off point for many Friends moving to Ohio and the Northwest Territory to be "ever free of slavery." For example, the Trent MM in Jones County, North Carolina (1792-1800) left no known records, but in 1800 Redstone QM received a final minute from Trent saying all its members were moving to Ohio and asking that the meetings in western Pennsylvania take them under their care. I searched my Monthly Meetings in North America database to pull up the four MMs with a final meeting place in Fayette County: http://www.quakermeetings.com/search_display?MeetingName=&County=Fayette &StateOrProvince=Penns&generalSearchWord= (two-line URL) Tom Thomas C.

I am looking for my ancestress Mary (possibly Brinton) born 1795 and married James McGlaughlin in 1820. I don't believe James was Quaker. I have reason to believe that he was either Presbyterian or Methodist. Thanks.
