When I think of the Quakers of Culpeper, I think of William Duff of King George County whose lengthy will names all of his Green nephews, and leaves land for the Monthly Meeting in Culpeper. His various land holdings included considerable acreage in the Stonehouse Run area of Culpeper County, And man of those around his land were Quakers. I am thinking specifically of the Popham/Evins/Maxwell group from Westmoreland County. I have searched high and low for Monthly Meeting records that would apply to this group. No luck. They are not at Guilford College in Greensboro, NC. At the Mary Ball Washington Museum & Library, we recently bought a CD that has all of the known Quaker records. This includes Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina, and of course anything by Henshaw. Those with an interest in Quakers may find this CD useful. I believe we bought it through Genealogical Publishing Company. Good topic, and best of luck to all researchers, Craig Kilby On Mar 1, 2009, at 9:23 PM, Joan Horsley wrote: > Long-time Culpeper researchers Jim and Louise Hodge told me that > there was a sizable Quaker presence in Culpeper County.
