Good Morning, I'm trying to find some records for Joseph Inman who was the son of Ozial Inman and Ruth Eddy. Joseph was born in 1864 and died in 1828. His parents were married through the Quaker faith and I'm looking for proof that their son was a Quaker. He was married to Lillis Mathewson and they divorced about 1802. Thank you, Brenda Ozog

Brenda Ozog, Smithfield Monthly Meeting, in Providence County, Rhode Island, with some members living in nearby southern Massachusetts, is still active. I worshiped there several years ago. Its website is down this morning, but you can review details of its existence and records here: https://www.quakermeetings.com/Plone/meeting_view?anID=338 So, assuming his dates were 1764-1828, the vital records (birth, death, marriage, membership) have been retained and stored in the New England Yearly Meeting archives at the Rhode Island Historical Society in Providence. The Genealogical Society of Utah made five reels of microfilm of Smithfield records, and you could review the microfilm either at the Rhode Island Historical Society or have it called from Salt Lake City to any Family History Center, that is, at most large LDS local churches. So far as I know, New England Y.M. is not part of the on-going digitalization process for many Quaker records due to debut on Ancestry.com in early 2013. One might be able to view the LDS microfilm online, but I have never learned how to do that. [Anyone who wants to instruct me on that process should respond separately to me off-list.] Tom Hill Thomas C.
