Richard Williams, www.QuakerMeetings.com attempts to list every monthly meeting that ever existed in North America (or at least the English-speaking parts). The entry for Gunpowder MM says the original marriage book for 1847 is deposited in the Baltimore Yearly Meeting Archives at Friends Historical Library of Swarthmore College. https://www.quakermeetings.com/Plone/meeting_view?anID=1766 This record suggests four levels of answer. (1) View the original or microfilm copies at Swarthmore. The On-Line Guide to BYM records lists the specific records held: http://trilogy.brynmawr.edu/speccoll/bym/BYMindex.htm (2) Peden has published Gunpowder abstracts for 1726-1825, but I do not know if anyone has published the 1847 marriages. (3) The Maryland Hall of Records has microfilmed Gunpowder's and many other BYM records, as shown by the reel numbers on QuakerMeetings.com. (4) Gunpowder (and all other BYM monthly meetings existing before 1935) have joined the Ancestry.com digitalization agreement by the four largest Quaker depositories, but I understand the digitalization could take another year before posting.

I have no reason to doubt this information but wonder if anyone has a copy/transcript of the original record. One of their daughters was Mary Gittings Tyson. I wonder whey she was given the middle name Gittings. (1937) John Gillingham, son of James and Elizabeth (Hayward) Gillingham, was born 3-31-1787 and died 6-11-1848. He married 9-21-1814 Mary Updegraff - Child: ... Mary Gillingham, was born 8-14-1825 and died 1-26-1892. She married [5-13-1847] Henry Tyson. [THE MOORE-TYSON FAMILY Ed.
