I am certainly a descendant of the Quakers who came to Newberry, but not of the lines that you mention. I am descended from PARKINS, MILBOURNE, PETERSON, RICHARDSON, ROGERS, and prob. several others, but those are my main ones. I have found it quite difficult to search them; I only wish I had known there were from Newberry when I lived there many years ago!!! It would have been much easier! Some of mine did leave but many of them stayed. Godspeed... Dolores M.
