My GGGGGrrandfather was Herman Husband b.1724 and was a member of the Cane Creek Society of Friends. Because of his association with "The Regulator's" he was accused of being one of the instigators of the "Battle of Alamance" in North Carolina and fortunately later pardoned by President George Washington. He was also involved with the "Whiskey Rebellion" arrested, put in jail for 9 months and was again pardoned by President George Washington which happened after his 3rd wife, Amy "Emmy" made a trip to speak to the President about his failing health. On his way back home to Somerset, Pennsylvania he died somewhere on the road near Philadelphia, PA. His Quaker affiliation is documented in the book "The Wind In The Forest" by Inglas Fletcher and documentaries produced by North Carolina Universities and the Battle of Alamance information.
Also other Husband family members were Quakers. I am a new Genealogywise member and hope this is enough information to be admitted to this group.
Gratefully,
Molly Carson

My Stackhouse family roots were in County Bucks. I am also working on Heaton, Henshaw, Rocroft, & Stone, Where would I go to find meetings for this area of PA early 1700's?

Hello. I have the following surnames in my family who are Quakers: Worthington and Walton. The Worthington family came from England and settled in Bucks County in the early 1700's. The Walton family came from England and settle in Philadelphia, in the 1600's, eventually moving out into Bucks County.

Hello Everyone. I have Samuel H. Peacock that married a Catherine Peters in Gloucester, New Jersey in 1832. My research has shown that the Peacock family in New Jersey was of the Quaker faith and my hope is that there may be a church record providing more information on Samuel and Catherine and their ancestry. Would anyone have any suggestions regarding how I might find such a record?

On a side note, Cynthia L. Fregoe's message below proves she is a distant cousin of mine. I am a descendant of Squire Boone's sister Mary Boone who was born September 23, 1699 and married James Webb Jr.

Interested in Quaker families in the Delmarva peninsula during the colonial period, especially Truitts and allied families.

I'm descended of several Quaker ancestors from Salem, Massachusetts- The Southwicks, Wilsons, Popes, etc. including many persecuted Quakers. I'm blogging about them here on Genealogywise and at www.nutfieldgenealogy.com I used Whittier's poem about Cassandra Southwick (really Provided Southwick) to answer Bill West's genealogical poetry challenger to bloggers....

Hello everyone. I am new to this site and Quaker research. I have a George Whiteside b c 1808 in Birmingham Chester County PA. I suspect he was Quaker or was Quaker educated as a letter written by him is beatifully executed. Obviously had a good education. Where should I be looking for any details on his birth if a Quaker? What Quaker records are available for the place he was born? Any help you cpould give me in pointing the way forward on my George would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
I have a few Quaker ancestors I am researching who were mostly in Pennsylvania. Among them are:
Edmund Cartledge, who came from Ridings in the county of Darby, England and settled in Delaware County, Pennsylvania in 1682. He and his wife, Mary Need, were Quakers .
Their son John Cartledge ( 1684 - 1722) married Elizabeth Bartram ( 1684 - 1734)
Their daughter Mary (1719-1815) married William Wright (1719-1766)
Their daughter Hanna (1737_1770) married John Postlethwaite II (1736-1802) but I don't think they were Quakers.
William Trotter (1627-1676) married Catherine Gibs (1626-1667)
Bonus Norton (1657-1718) married Mary Goodhue (1664-1690)
