Good Morning Joe: My Ggrandfather, Thomas Clarkson Strawbridge came from York Co., PA to Wayne Co., IN about 1839. He m Susan Williams had a son William Strawbridge b 1843, my Grandfather.. Thomas was a Quaker Minister so I'm told. William m Margaret E Williamson in 1887, Richmond, came to Whittier, CA. My father Harry b 10/24/1888 in Whittier. I remember him speaking of some Starbucks living in Whittier about 70 years ago. I believe there were some still around when I went to school in Whittier 1932. There were a lot of Friends in Whittier in the early days, might be some of your Starbucks. I am looking for Susan Williams family information. Thomas was also m to an Esther Coburn and had two sons, George Edward and Charles Clarkson. I was named after George. Can't seem to find what happened to them either. Good luck Joe, George E.

I believe there's a Starbuck St. in Whittier. At one time I lived and worked in Whittier. My boss's wife's maiden name was Hunnicutt and he told me that the first Quaker Meeting held in Whittier was on the front porch of the original Hunnicutt home (on Greenleaf Ave.) This was about 35 yrs ago. I often wonder if it's still there. I believe they were still Quakers, but can't remember where they went to Meeting (or is it called Church or something else now?) This is probably really a long-shot... do you know if your Susan Williams was from NC originally? Or, possibly Greene Co, OH? My ancestor's brother, Samuel Pavey, was in Wayne Co, IN for a short time (1818.) He had a sister, Mary "Polly" who was md. to a Levin Williams, but they divorced and the family apparently spread out. They were never Quakers that I've found yet, but they certainly did travel and live around them for years. I believe I did find 2 sons (Wm. & Samuel) who had moved (first) to Greene Co, OH, then to Grant Co, IN by 1850.
