Dear all,
You have now found out you are dealing with a rank amateur. I did
not know that Quaker dates could not be transposed from 3 to March, etc. I
find it clearer to use the month name instead of the date - so that is what I
did with the material taken from the Quaker sources. I am clear on the
material from the family Bible on . I collected the material my mother had
gathered and the Bible entries and family information from then to now. We
were so thrilled we had connected the Bible to the immigrant ancestors that I
wanted to preserve it for the family , so I wrote it down in book form and
offered it to the family. Looking back to the sources, I see them all
written in number form, so for 7 read Sept. instead of July, etc.
The "Gwynedd" book is called-
Historical Collections Relating to Gwynedd.
A Township of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, Settled, 1698, by
immigrants from Wales,
With some data referring to the adjoing Township of Montgomery, also
settled by the Welsh.
by Howard M. Jenkins, of Gwynedd
Published by the Author 1897
My mother found it somewhere in Philadelphia, probably at a genealogy
library. She somehow contacted Mr. Jenkins' son and asked if he had any more
books. He had three - all unbound. So she bought them, had them bound and
kept one, gave one to my husband's father and one to his Uncle Jim. I have
hers, my sister-in-law has one and Wallace Griffith has one. As to other
sources I don't know.
I have learned alot through this, sorry for the mistake.
