I think that it looks great, Judy. the only very small thing that I might change---and others might not agree---is that the Quakers in the first decade of the 1800's didn't really move west.....I am not familiar with the families who moved south...or if there were a few who moved to TN....but most of the families that I am familiar with moved northwest to the non-slave states of Ohio and Indiana with the mass exodus of the Quaker families out of the south in the first decade of the 1800's. I am not sure that it is worth changing.....but since you asked for input, I thought that I would make that statement. marsha On Dec 30, 2010, at 4:11 PM, Judith F.

thanks for the input, as always! My families definitely moved due west, to AL. But others, of course, moved as you said north west. I can add a bit about that. This is the same copy that has been in our other brochure for years, wish someone had pointed it out sooner. I'll be glad to make the correction. ----- Original Message ----- From: "marsha moses" <mosesm@earthlink.net> To: <sc-bushriverquakers@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, December 30, 2010 6:03 PM Subject: [SC-BUSHRIVERQUAKERS] Brochure >I think that it looks great, Judy. the only very small thing that I > might change---and others might not agree---is that the Quakers in the > first decade of the 1800's didn't really move west.....I am not > familiar with the families who moved south...or if there were a few > who moved to TN....but most of the families that I am familiar with > moved northwest to the non-slave states of Ohio and Indiana with the > mass exodus of the Quaker families out of the south in the first > decade of the 1800's.

Since I'm in Alabama, I'm curious what part of Alabama your families came to, and the family names. ________________________________ From: Judith F.

Hello, I just read this about the Bush River families moving to Ohio and Indiana. Isaac Thomas's large family mostly came to Montgomery Co, OH. His dau Mary who married Jacob Wisener, dau Elizabeth marr. a Cox, and most of the married sons can be accounted for. I have not branched out to search all of them, but several descendants are here in Randolph Co,IN. Also Coats and Mendenhall etc. Last year I finally received a family Bible of Jacob and Mary, it says they left some little girls buried in SC. before they left to move to Ohio. Names all their children, with dates etc. Now, if only someone could find Jacob's father!!
