Norwich Monthly Meeting Record Book a 1819 - 1842 Norwich Monthly Meeting Record Book A 1819 - 1842 Archives: C-3-1 This register is held by the Canadian Quaker Archives and Library in Newmarket, Ontario. The transcription was done from the images of a filming available at the Archives of Ontario (MS 303, reel 4) under the coordination of Randy Saylor in 2018. This Register is followed by Norwich MM Record Book B that was begun in 1842. Book B is transcribed and available on the CFHA web site in the Hicksite section. This book was last held by Conservative Friends and the book details disownments of Hicksite Friends so the book would have been in Orthodox hands after the Separation in 1828. Arthur Dorland in his book, The History of the Society of Friends (Quakers) in Canada, 1927, states that “the Hicksite Friends decided to withdraw from the Preparative Meeting at North Norwich to Pine Street Meeting in South Norwich where they were in the majority” [164-5]. This transcription is donated to the Canadian Friends Historical Association (CFHA). It is made freely available and supports search, cut and paste. CFHA will officially grant linking privileges to organizations that support this free access. The transcription and proof reading were done by Carman Foster in 2018. CFHA wishes to express its gratitude to those who worked on this project. The pages of the original document were numbered, and the image numbers below refer to the digital copy. The text was transcribed as written, so researchers must consider the many variations in spelling when searching the transcribed text. Transcriber notes are in square brackets. Illegible words are noted as by a question mark. In 1809 Peter Lossing, a member of the Society of Friends from Dutchess County, N.Y. visited Norwich Township, and in June 1810, with his brother-in-law, Peter De Long, and purchased 15 000 acres of land. Lossing settled there in 1811. The De Long family and nine others, principally from Dutchess County, joined Lossing the same year and by 1820 an additional group of about fifty had settled within the tract, many were Quakers. A frame meeting house and burial ground were established just north of Norwich village in 1817. See a paper about the Norwich Meeting in the Canadian Quaker History Journal, No. 75, p.16 - 23. Meetings began in 1812 and Norwich Preparative Meeting was established in 1816 under Pelham Monthly Meeting. In 1819 Norwich became a Monthly Meeting and these meetings were established under Norwich: Yarmouth (Sparta), 1823; Malahide, 1822; Ancaster, 1816; Pine St (South Norwich), 1819.

    1 2 Marriage records in Pelham Book A, 1798-1856. This is a blank page This transcription was made by Scott W. Prior (October 2000) from a photocopy of the original book in the Canadian Yearly Meeting Archives at Pickering College, Newmarket, Ontario. The photocopy was kindly provided to the transcriber by Sandra Fuller, a volunteer with the Canadian Friends Historical Association. This transcription maintains the spelling, punctuation, and capitalization of the original document. Readers will note that there are both omitted words and double words, such as “then then” in the transcription. Spellings of names are also observed to be inconsistent even within the same marriage record. These are not transcription errors, but as the various meeting clerks actually wrote the documents. In a few instances a portion of a word could not be deciphered with certainty. These are shown with ???. A (?) following a word means that is my best guess at transcribing that particular word. The page numbers are as in the original document through page 66. There are two consecutive page 66’s. Thus, the second page 66 of the original document will be page 67 in the transcription, and so on. An index was not prepared, but, as an Adobe Acrobat file, the transcription is searchable using the find command. Users are cautioned to try various spellings.

By ISAAC J. FINLEY and RUFUS PUTNAM. CINCINNATI: PRINTED FOR THE AUTHORS BY ROBERT CLARKE & CO. 1871. y s^ <i% V PREFACE. In emleavorlng to accomplish faithfully what is GOJitained in this worh, it has been found that notwith- standing its nan-ow scope, it has involved considerahle time, expense, labor, and dijficulties, visiting, as we have, all the most noted forts, circles, mounds, camps, caves, cliffs, etc., within the county. We have endeav- ored to portray the toils, hardships, and privations of a pioneer life, when nothing but dense deep forests, inhabited only by wild, ferocious beasts, and bloody savages, covered the land: when the only habitation was the lude wigivam of the aborigines; when the hoivl of wolves, and scream of panthers, the hum of wild bees, the hissing and rattle of the poisonous snaJce, the gobble of the wild turkey, and the shrill whistle of the red hunter, constituted all the music that broke the solemn stillness of the backwoods. The first brave and hardy pioneers lived to see those forests melt away before the tide of industry, and fields of golden grain spring up to adorn the efforts of the husbandman with abundant har- vests. Alas ! those pioneers, the brave, enterprising men who made their homes first in the western land, with few exceptions, have passed away.
