Thanks for the interesting information. Gene In a message dated 1/11/2012 7:15:30 P.M.

According to the family story, my great grandfather, Joshua Thomas was read out of his Meeting for marrying my great grandmother, Annie. Her Meeting, on the other side of a schism in Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, warmly welcomed my grandfather into the Meeting and they were Meeting stalwarts in Avondale, PA from there on.

Do you mind if I ask a couple of Quaker questions? In the Bush River MM 1794, 4, 26 under Campbell "Sarah (form Hasket) dis mou". Her marriage was to Ralph Campbell who was not a Quaker. In the New Garden MM 1809, 6, 24 "Sarah, of Bush River, S.C., rec in mbrp on minute from New Garden QM. Questions: (1) Would Sarah have been re-instated to membership thou still "mou"? She and Ralph were married until his death in 1841. (2) Sarah and Ralph were still in Newberry in the 1810 census. Why was she received in the New Garden MM in 1809? Had Bush River MM been dissolved by then? They ended up in Hamilton County, IN in 1836. Is there a place on the internet to find minutes from Richland-Carmel MM?
