To Quaker Researchers who are interested in families from the Bush River MM in SC: I sent the note below to the Bush River group this morning. Besides the cancellation of this spring's SC meeting, there is a reference to the thought developing for a Homecoming in and near Waynesville, OH. I thought that some of you would be interested in hearing more about that meeting as it develops. I'll be keeping the Bush River rootsweb list informed as I hear details. If you have thoughts or suggestions about a meeting in the Waynesville area, you could send them to me (jrussell2@charter.net) and I'll forward them to the planning committee so that they can get back to you. Best wishes, Judy Russell Bush River Quaker Cemetery Clean Up Committee ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hello to all descendants and researchers of Bush River Quakers: I am very sorry to have to let everyone know that we will not be having our proposed Homecoming for Bush River Quakers which was scheduled for May 3 -5, 2013 in Newberry SC. The good news is that, based upon several excellent suggestions, tentative plans are in the works for a meeting in and near Waynesville, OH, to which area most of the Bush River families emigrated. This is an area most of us have never visited and it looks absolutely full of Quaker and other historic places. I hope that we'll be hearing more details about this proposed meeting in the coming months. In the meantime, please accept my thanks for all that you have done to make our email list of researchers and descendants such a special one! When we first started our email group, 12 years ago, our purpose was to preserve and protect the Bush River Burial Ground and to make it accessible every day of the year. We are still able to say that this goal is being met. With your help, we'll continue to do this work. If you have questions or thoughts about the future, please let the group or me personally know (jrussell2@charter.net) Thanks so much, Judy Russell
