Most importantly for researchers they were members of the Religious Society of Friends, aka Quaker. My great-grandmother was very proud she was a birth right Quaker The Friends kept extensive records. I've not seen the Friends mentioned in any post and am suggest mining the society's records would be very helpful to many.
