Dear Cuz Diane B The significance to the Saturday land tour/meeting house visit, is to give you guys something else Wynne to look at, and another perspective of the Meeting houses. The area we are going to is the "Marsh farm" that keeps being referred to in several sources, and keeps peaking peoples interest...i.e. where is it??? And because Merle's daughter lives are there in the area, there has been comparison of where she lives and where it is, and could she be on old Wynne land and not know it etc etc.... As to the Meeting house, Ida has set that up for us, and it is a meeting house in the area of Marsh farm to easy to incorporate in our day. The Vance's/Nixon's went there but haven't researched if the Wynne's went there, but it will give us another perspective of the Quaker meeting house.

The Uwchlan Meeting House was erected in 1756 by the Society of Quakers (Friends). During the Revolutionary War, it was used as a hospital for the sick soldiers. The Monthly Meeting was discontinued in 1901 and the building was sold. It is now on the National Historic Register. In 1973, the Women's Community Club of Uwchlan bought the building and continues to hold meetings and community events in it. I think the outside of the building still appears much as it did when it was constructed in 1756. Terry and I know that some of our Vance ancestors attended this Meeting in the late 1700's. Since it is located very close to where many Wynne's lived, I guess it is quite possible that they could have attended there also---provided they had remained Quakers in good standing. Unfortunately, our Vance boys must have misbehaved and the four of them got kicked out of Meeting----never to return again.
