Hi all, Does anyone know how to go about finding Quaker records for the Pembroke & Redstone Monthly Meetings in South Wales? I'm researching the following JONES family who apparently appear in those records, beginning in 1708: 1. Francis JONES I was born about 1660, perhaps in County Wexford? Ireland. Died about 13 May 1742 in Leacock? Lancaster County? PA. Francis was a Quaker and he is first found in the records of the Quaker meeting at Jamestown, South Wales. He moved from there and was first listed in the minutes of the Pembroke, South Wales Monthly Meeting on 15th day, 8th month, 1708. This monthly meeting was located in or near Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, South Wales. From the Quaker meeting minutes, it appears that Francis and his family lived near Jamestown, South Wales (which is near Manorbrier, a village not far from Tenby). Jamestown was within the verge of the Redstone Monthly Meeting. The monthly meetings actually alternated between Redstone and Pembrokeshire at Haverfordwest. Apparently the minutes of the Jamestown Monthly Meeting have been lost (can anyone on this list confirm this or refer me to someone who knows?). Per Dillwyn Miles (Haverfordwest writer): George Fox, the founder of the Society of Friends, accompanied by John ap John, toured through Wales and came to Haverfordwest in 1657 where he received a welcome and had a "great meeting". (Pat Powell and Elaine Barsosky kindly provided me with some information on the locations of the Haverfordwest & Redstone Monthly Meetings which I will not post here, to save space.) Francis only lived in Jamestown about three years, for on the 20th day of the 5th month, 1711, the Redstone Monthly Meeting granted the following certificate to him (I'll list it only in case someone else is tracking the surnames mentioned): "Whereas we understand that our friend Francis JONES and his family intends to transport themselves to Pensivlania, in america and Desires a certificate from friends on that account: These are therefore to Certifie all whom it may concern -- that about three years ago they came over here to Pembrock Sheire from Ireland and Ever since did belong to our Monthly Meeting at Redstone and have all along lived in Love and peace with friends and Neighbors and behaved themselves orderly and Cyvil in all Respects, to the utmost of our Knowledge and also do depart out of our Countrey in Love and with Consent of friends; who truely wisheth and Desireth that the Lord may Bless and prosper them in all their good intentions Especially in their inward and Spirituall undertaking and Concerns of Soul Salvation, etc. Signed by us: Tho: CORNOCK, Sr.; Tho: CORNOCK, Jr.; James LEWIS, Sr.; D. MUSGRAVE, Jr.; David MUSGRAVE; James S. KONE; James LEWIS, Jr." The Jones' Pennsylvania references were deleted to save space. He married Rachel NEWTON about 1687. Rachel NEWTON was born on 9 Oct 1662 in Corbally, Queen's County, England to Jonas NEWTON and Jane URIN or WINN?. Rachel was born 9th day, 8th month, 1662. She was probably closely related to Sir Isaac Newton (half sister or aunt). They had the following children: +2 i. Samuel JONES was born on 1 May 1688 in Ireland. +3 ii. Francis JONES II was born 29 Jun 1690 in Ireland. +4 iii. Henry JONES was born on 24 Apr 1693 in Ireland. 5 iv. Jonas JONES was born on 15 Jun 1695 in Ireland?. If anyone wants more details on this line, feel free to contact me. Thanks in advance. Bill Denney--Vancouver USA
