This pertains to the mailing from Linda Damrell dated 12/01/04, She is seeking information concerning the following Quaker ancestors: William Rees b. 1736 in PA d. 1827 PA. James Richard Haworth b 1642/45 c, 1684 Isabel Radcliffe Haworth Omerod b. 1641/46 d. 1707 Richard Wood b 1691 VA d. 1725 VA. William Clayton Jr. b. 1625 England d. 1689 PA William Beals b. 1625 England d PA John Jacob Beals b 1650/60 I am doubtful that the large 6 volume set of William Wade Hinshaw's _Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy_ will be very helpful in locating most of these ancestors. There may be some mention of certain of them in Selby Publishing Company publications of Hinshaw data not included in the six volume original work of Hinshaw. Concerning William Rees, I do not know anything about him except that he probably was the member of a Welsh family that settled in the Welsh tract to the northwest of Philadelphia in the days of William Penn. The name is sometimes spelled Reece or Rhys and was quite common among Quakers from North Carolina and Tennessee settling in the Midwest in the early nineteenth century. Concerning James Richard Haworth and Isabelle Radcliffe Haworth Omerod, they were husband and wife, parents of the Quaker, George Haworth, who settled in Bucks County, PA ca. 1699. A seven volume work _ Some Quaker Families: Scarborough/Haworth_ has been compiled (1991-ca. 1999) by Roger Boone and Marjorie Morgan which includes hundred of descendants of George Haworth. George Haworth had a sister, Mary Haworth, who married John Myers (Miers) of the vicinity of Lewes, Delaware and had Quaker descendants. Research concerning the parentage of George Haworth has been done by Marilyn London Winton Misch. There is a letter from Marilyn Misch in the Quaker-Roots Archives for 1998. Search for Omerod, subject: "Isabel, wife of James Haworth" Concerning Richard Wood, I know nothing. If he was born in Virginia in 1691, he probably was born in lower Virginia, as there were few Quakers in northern Virginia in 1691. Concerning William Clayton and John Jacob Beals, ---- William Clayton was the father of the wife of John Beals, Mary Clayton. Violet Guy, in her recent mailing, has guided you to "Cheska's Clayton Family" and "Cheska's Beals Family", which seem to give up-to-date outlines of these families. I am a descendant of William Clayton. There is more to be known about him, but what Cheska offers is basic. Concerning William Beals b. 1625 England d. PA ---- Older genealogies listed him as father of John Beals, husband of Mary Clayton, but I do not know whether this can now be proven. It was once thought that John Beals came from England to Burlington, N. J. with the Clayton family on the ship "Kent" in 1677, but I do not know whether any of this can be proven, either. It seems quite certain that the Clayton family was in the Burlington area by 1678, preparing to move to Chichester Township in present-day Delaware County, Pennsylvania. I hope that this is helpful and not misleading, - Herbert Standing, Earlham, Iowa.

Don't know if this helps or not: From "Bucks County Church Records of the 17th and 18th Centuries: Vol 2 " by Watring & Wright Falls MM Certificates, 1683-1743, page 151: 26/5/6/1682- Monthly meeting at Pertished, for the north part of the county of Sumerset. Will. Beal ... is intended to transport himself to Pensilvania with his wife. Carol T.
