researching: EYRE ROGERS

I am searching for further information on the Quaker Society of Free Traders, specifically membership circa the 1600s. Robert EYRE, b: 30 Jan 1648, the same day that King Charles I of England was executed, apprenticed under a William ROGERS, merchant of Bristol, England. William ROGERS was a Quaker, a soapmaker and a member of the Society of Merchant Venturers (1667). Robert EYRE settled in Bethel twp, Chester (now Delaware) cnty, Pennsylvania circa 1682 and remained there until his death in 1708. His parentage in England is unknown. There was an earlier EYRE/ROGERS marriage and there arises the possibility that Robert EYRE was apprenticed to William ROGERS based on family connections. William ROGERS had two brothers, Francis and George ROGERS, "Irish traders" and merchants of Cork, Ireland. Each purchased 2500 acres of land from William PENN in Mar 1681 but later resold the land and there is no indication that any of the three ROGERS brothers emigrated to Pennsylvania. George ROGERS left two sons and descendants in the Cork, Ireland area. I've found none for Francis ROGERS. However, in 1695, a Francis ROGERS, soapmaker and ship owner of Bristol, also became a member of the Society of Merchant Venturers. And two later Francis ROGERS from Bristol also became SMV members in 1724 and 1748 so there is the likelihood that Francis ROGERS left Cork and moved to Bristol.

Mike Wilson

researching: TROTH

Recent readings of biographies have revealed that there were a few occasions of a prolific couple gifting an infant to a childless couple. One such prominent example is President Andrew Jackson who, in 1809, legally adopted one of his recently born twin nephews. I have used the LDS microfilms tracing the transfers of a suspect couple to different MM's, but there is nothing I've read yet that has documented the births of their reported several children. As there is a possiblility of an ancestor's roots coming from this beginning (same time, place, name, and disappearing twin) where would be records for me to search of the Haddonfield, NJ, Tred Haven, MD and Third Haven, MD MM notes? I can only guess at this point, but the time period would be between 1785 and 1810 and the areas would be in the eastern Cheasapeake Bay shore of MD, north through DE and to southwest NJ. rgds, Mike Wilson --------------------------------------------------

Am researching a Hughes family that lived in Cumberland, MD 1 1840 and later (maybe earlier). I felt they might be Quakers. Sophia Hughes (whose maiden name may have been Davis) was born around 1800. Husband's name may have been George Hughes, Samuel Hughes, or Joseph Hughes. They had two children, at least, Samuel, born around 1837 and Sophia, born around 1840 (my great, great, grandmother).

researching: Baker

I have recently learned that a relative from the mid-1800s was Quaker. Her name was Elizabeth Baker. She married Frederick Schaeffer (Protestant) in 1855. They were from Pennsylvania, probably the Philadelphia area. Quite some time ago, I found a listing in a book about Pennsylvania that seems to be related, although I did not note the name of the book and cannot locate it. It listed Elizabeth's father as Jacob Baker. His children were: Margaret (Harden), Susana (Thompson), Emma (Powell), Jacob, Elizabeth (Schaeffer), and Enich or Erich. In keeping with traditional naming patterns from the time, Elizabeth and Fredrick's children fit with these names. I would guess that Elizabeth was born sometime in the 1830s. Jacob's (Elizabeth's father) parents were listed as Michel (or Michael) and Susana Baker. Their other children were Daniel, Isic and Martha. Martha married a Reverend Charles Jones. If anyone has any information on these people, PLEASE get in touch with me. Thanks! Lydia Daniel's children were: John, William, Sarah and Susana. Isic's children were: George, John and Mary. --------------------------------------------------

In Mass./RI during the 18th Century, almost all Friends marriages seem to have occurred in public meeting on 5th day, perhaps never at 1st day meeting.

Her parents are Benjamin Bradfield and Polly Gibson. I have information from Hannah all the way down to my children. Hannah married Isaac F. Lewis in 1891. I have a copy of their marriage license and their death certificates. My problem lies with Isaac's parents. According to Isaac's marriage license to Hannah, his father's name is Abrah B. Lewis and mother's maiden name is Hadley. On Isaac's death certificate it lists his father as Byril Lewis born in KY, and mother as Sopha Hadley born in KY. James Pollitt, Hannah's brother in law was the informant on Isaac's death, he filled this information out. Here is my problem. I find no information for a Abrah B. Lewis/Byril Lewis/or Abraham Lewis or that is married to a Sopha/Sophia Hadley. Any information I find for a Sophia Hadley has her married to a Byram C. Lewis, both being born in Illinois. I know Quaker's, as my great grandmother and my grandmother, keep pretty good records of family history. But where are my Lewis/Bradfield family records? Who is Isaac's father? Where did James Pollitt get the information? Hannah was living at the time of Isaac's death, she would have known who his parents are, so I have to believe the information came from her?? I am lost as to where to go next. Any help would be appreciated. My families live/lived in Parke, Fountain, and Marshall Counties IN..and Vermilion County IL.

A second Benjamin Chance, born ca. 1750 in ?Orange, NC, gets really muddied with conflicting records showing a first marriage to Ruth Edwards, a second to Elizabeth Radd (may be Grimes), and still other references also showing him married to Rachel Sharpless as well. Can anyone clarify any part of this for me? Would be most grateful! Thanks, --------------------------------------------------

For Adam Hoffmann: About the Shakers. According to a couple of Quaker history books I have, they originated with a woman named Ann Lee in England. She was converted under the preaching of Jane Wardlaw, a Quaker. Jane Wardlaw preached that the kingdom of God was at hand, and Jesus would return as a woman.

In a search to find the maiden name of Elijah Walton Jr.'s wife, Mary "S" (per her gravestone), we came across the following 6 notes from the London Grove MM (per PA Hist Soc Abstracts): 5-3-1809 (3 May 1809): Fallowfield complains of Elijah Walton for marriage by a hireling minister to one not a member. Isaac Hayes, John Broomhall, and Joseph Pennock to take an opportunity with him. 6-7-1809 (7 Jun 1809): No opportunity with Elijah Walton yet. 7-5-1809 (July 5, 1809): Report that Elijah Walton endeavored to justify his conduct. Case continued. 8-9-1809 (9 Aug 1809): Committee in Elijah Walton's case continued. 9-6-1809 (6 Sep 1809): Testimony signed against Elijah Walton: Samuel Gitchel and Abraham Rakestraw to offer him a copy. 10-4-1809 (4 Oct 1809): Testimony against Elijah Walton returned and recorded. Apparently Elijah married Mary without strict adherence to Friends rules, and was excommunicated for doing so. Can anyone suggest any records which may help identify when and where Elijah and Mary were married, and more importantly, how we might determine Mary's maiden name? Thanks for any help you can give. --------------------------------------------------

In response to Kristen's 5/26 inquiry about Quakers in Australia: a 1994 handbook called Quakers Around the World says "In 1832, James Backhouse and George Washington Walker [English Quakers]visited Australia and worked among Friends in many areas. As a result small meetings were formed in several states. In 1902...[was held] the lst General Meeting of Australian Friends, recognized as a Quarterly Meeting of London Yearly Meeting." [An independent] Australia Yearly Meeting was established in 1964, and in 1994 had 1032 members in "7 regional,13 local" and 23 other less permanent groups. There was 1 regional meeting in each state. (p.90) Backhouse's 1843 account of his several-year stay in Aust. mentions groups of Quaker settlers in Hobart (where the lst Quaker meeting was held in 1832), Kelvedon, and Launceston in Tasmania; Sydney in NS Wales (lst meeting 1834); and Port Adelaide, S. Australia (lst meeting 1937). In 1985, William Oats published a history of Quakers in Aust in the 19th Cent. called A Question of Survival. Notes I took from a review of it say in his research he found 864 members (adults & children) from the UK who had migrated to Aust. before 1862, plus an additional 300+ with some con- nection to Friends. --------------------------------------------------

researching: Hunt, Campbell

My 4th gr-grandparents, Ralph Hunt and Rachel(Campbell) Hunt were Quakers. They were born,grew up and married in New Jersey, they would have been born around 1735-1745. I suspect they were in or around the Maidenhead, NJ; Sussex County, NJ area. No marriage record has been found for them but their first child was born in 1764. In 1765 they moved to York County, PA and in 1772 they moved again to Union County, SC where they joined the Bush River MM. The Bush River MM records are the first Quaker records I have found for them but I believe they were Quakers and was traveling with Quakers on each of these moves. I am looking for the parents of Ralph and Rachel and for thier marriage date/information. Their first child, a son, was named Samuel. If they went by the naming system of that time, Ralph's fathers name would have been Samuel. Any, any information about this family would be greatly appericated. --------------------------------------------------
