I have no (primary) sourced facts on the family before John Farr(1758-1844). He married a Lucinda Hopwood ca. 1792/95 in Fayette County PA and had several children with her. He worked as a wagoner in the settlement of Woodstock(later re-named Monroe with final name of Hopwood). John and Lucinda died within a few months of each other in 1844.

This is a problem, because I come from one of the grandchildren, Samuel Sr's daughter Sarah & this unnamed Hastings.

No other Williams' found in that twp or that area, except for a Joseph Williams in Concord Twp (later part of Delaware Co PA). Samuel in 1726 was an inmate & in 1727 a freeman. If this is my ancestor, he is later found in Lancaster Co PA in 1747 buying land, and a Quaker. Since he first shows up in 1726, I'm guessing that's when he came of age or became an adult, being born about 1708. Are there any Quaker records for a Samuel William(s) born in that part of the state at that time? Any help welcome.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[Looking for info on a Samuel Williams who is found in Thornbury Twp, Chester County PA in 1726 & 1727.

His son's name that I'm descended from is Mordecai (b. 1822), grandson Mordecai Lincoln Vernon (1866-1917). While looking into my roots in Cheshire England, someone posted that Quakers do not record birth information - rather, they welcome a child into the meeting at the time of the child's choice. Does anyone know when that custom began? I'm wondering if Thomas left the Quaker faith, or perhaps was simply not recorded. I don't know if there were any Meetings in Ohio for him to join in that time period as well. I do know that his grandson ML Vernon was very active in a Methodist church around 1900.

Stanton died before 1844, where Lydia married a William Kirkman. No sign in Quaker Index. Lydia is dead by 1860, William remarries moves to Missouri. Lydia & Stanton's sons move to Whitley then Starke Co.

Eldest daughter Nancy Bailey married John Thornburg who was from a Quaker family, youngest married his brother George. JT & Nancy apparently were Quakers still when they moved to Iroquois Co Illinois. No sign of any others staying in Quaker Faith, no apparent listing of JT's marriage in Quaker Index from 1965. Though I am curious as it appears a lot of Quaker names ended up in Starke Co Ind, but the Indiana Index doesn't show a MM there. Grave locations for Stanton and Lydia unknown. Basically I can't find out who Stanton's parents were. There is another Stanton in the area about 15 years older, but this Stanton would be too old to be his son.

Were differences between Quakers & NON-Quakers documented in meeting minutes? Or only differences between Quakers? With respect to the monthly meeting that was sequentially known as Bethlehem, Kingwood and Quakertown, in Hunterdon Co., NJ, it has been stated that: “In general, non-members are not mentioned in the minutes, even when they attended meeting for worship on a regular basis.” Source: http://trilogy.brynmawr.edu/speccoll/mm/quakemm.xml#dsc Thus, one might be inclined, “in general,” to think that John Basset was a member, based on the following excerpts from the minutes of this monthly meeting: “At our Monthly Meeting held at Kingwood the 8.th day of the 1st Month 1750… This Meeting desires John Emley William Muntgumrie [sic] Thomas Atkinson and John Simcock Senior to Enquire into the difference between Samuel Large and John Basset and to Endeavour to accommodate the Same before the next Monthly Meeting and make report then accordingly.” “At our Monthly Meeting held [at] Kingwood the 10.th day of the 3.d Month 1750… The Committee appointed to Settle the Difference between Samuel Large and John Basset, Reported they had Settled the affair So far as related to the Difference between Samuel and Basset. But Samuel was to make Satisfaction to the next Monthly on that Occasion So far as his Offence relates to the Church, He not being able to attend it was pospon’d [sic] to next Monthly Meeting.” “At our Monthly Meeting held at Kingwood the 14t.th day of 4.th Month 1750… Samuel Large acknowledged his fault agreeable to his promise made to the Committee that was appointed to Settle the Difference between the said Samuel and John Basset, which acknowledgement was to the Satisfaction of this Meeting, in general, and it was the general result of this Meeting, that this Shall be a full End thereof, and that no more mention be made anymore on that occation [sic].” Source: Swarthmore College; Swarthmore, Pennsylvania; Philadelphia Yearly Meeting Minutes; Call Number: MR-Ph 529 (via Ancestry.com). Samuel Large (1686–1765) was in Bethlehem Township by 1733 and a very active member of the congregation. In contrast, these are the only references to John Basset that I have found in the records of this congregation. >>>>> QUESTIONS <<<<< Q.

Or only differences between Quakers? With respect to the monthly meeting that was sequentially known as Bethlehem, Kingwood and Quakertown, in Hunterdon Co., NJ, it has been stated that: “In general, non-members are not mentioned in the minutes, even when they attended meeting for worship on a regular basis.” Source: http://trilogy.brynmawr.edu/speccoll/mm/quakemm.xml#dsc Thus, one might be inclined, “in general,” to think that John Basset was a member, based on the following excerpts from the minutes of this monthly meeting: “At our Monthly Meeting held at Kingwood the 8.th day of the 1st Month 1750… This Meeting desires John Emley William Muntgumrie [sic] Thomas Atkinson and John Simcock Senior to Enquire into the difference between Samuel Large and John Basset and to Endeavour to accommodate the Same before the next Monthly Meeting and make report then accordingly.” “At our Monthly Meeting held [at] Kingwood the 10.th day of the 3.d Month 1750… The Committee appointed to Settle the Difference between Samuel Large and John Basset, Reported they had Settled the affair So far as related to the Difference between Samuel and Basset. But Samuel was to make Satisfaction to the next Monthly on that Occasion So far as his Offence relates to the Church, He not being able to attend it was pospon’d [sic] to next Monthly Meeting.” “At our Monthly Meeting held at Kingwood the 14t.th day of 4.th Month 1750… Samuel Large acknowledged his fault agreeable to his promise made to the Committee that was appointed to Settle the Difference between the said Samuel and John Basset, which acknowledgement was to the Satisfaction of this Meeting, in general, and it was the general result of this Meeting, that this Shall be a full End thereof, and that no more mention be made anymore on that occation [sic].” Source: Swarthmore College; Swarthmore, Pennsylvania; Philadelphia Yearly Meeting Minutes; Call Number: MR-Ph 529 (via Ancestry.com). Samuel Large (1686–1765) was in Bethlehem Township by 1733 and a very active member of the congregation. In contrast, these are the only references to John Basset that I have found in the records of this congregation. >>>>> QUESTIONS <<<<< Q.

My ancestors' marriage information is given as 23rd of 11th mo, 1734 at Chichester Meeting House. Since 1734 is before the Gregorian Calendar was instituted in America, that means the year began on March 25th. So, do I read the eleventh month as February or as November? And do the twenty-three days start on the twenty-fifth day of the previous month, or from the first of the month? So, which date is accurate:23 Nov 173418 Nov 173423 Feb 173417 Feb 1734 Or something else entirely because of the lost days when the calendar changed? ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[I need help in understanding how to translate dates used in Quaker Monthly Meeting records.
