My wife's ancestry includes many Quaker families. Some of the surnames are: Stokes, Woodruff, Hancock, Braddock, Somers, Ware, Townsend, Pitts, Potts, Bradway, Leeds, Haines, Fogg, Clement & many other. Most settled near Philadelphia & southern NJ.
Our Genealogy Society recently had a presentation: Researching Quakers in Upper Canada about Quakers who came from New York state to Ontario. There were so many good resources suggested and a really good explanation of the Quaker meetings and how they were organized. It is worth checking out.

I recently ran across a site with information about marriages @ New Garden Monthly Meeting in North Carolina. I thought it might help someone in this discussion group. Here's the link: http://www.newrivernotes.com/carroll_history_1779-1783_flower_swift...
