WILMINGTON MM Guide to the Index of EARLY MEMBERS OF WILMINGTON MEETING AND WILMINGTON MONTHLY MEETING OF FRIENDS This section of the card index is designed to include the earliest members of Wilmington Meeting from 1735 to 1750, as well as all of the members of Wilmington Monthly Meeting from the time of its formal estab- lishment in 1750 until the time of the division of the Monthly Meeting in the Orthodox-Hicksite Separation of 1827. Wilmington Monthly Meeting membership after 1750 included the remnants of New Castle Preparative Meeting, which was laid down in 1758. In later years, Wilmington Monthly Meeting also included the membership of White Clay Creek Preparative Meeting which was established in 1781 and which changed its name to Stanton Prepara- tive Meeting in 1803. Stanton continued to be a preparative meeting under Wilmington Monthly Meeting (Hicksite) until 1891. The meeting for worship was laid down in 1921. 1&14.Q4 O In compiling this index, reference was made to typed copies made from the original early birth, death and marriage records of Wilmington Monthly Meeting. These typed copies were made under the auspices of the Works Progress Administration. The early birth, death, and marriage records of Wilmington Monthly Meeting are not very complete until after 1800. A set of manuscript minutes of the Wilmington Monthly Meeting of Men Friends was studied in detail for the years from 1780 to 1824. Files of certificates of transfer to Wilmington Monthly Meeting were also studied, as well as letters of disownment. A typed copy of the membership list of Wilmington Monthly Meeting of 1807 was carefully noted, as well as a manu- script record of the members of the Monthly Meeting in 1827, at the time of the Separation. Financial records of Stanton Preparative Meeting were examined Certain genealogical records outside of the Friends records were in- cluded to supplement the Friends records, when these outside sources appeared to be reliable. Effort was made to note the sources of such information. On most cards, notation was made in red ink at the top upper right- hand corner--indicating the date when the individual became a member of Friends and the date when membership was terminated. These notations in red ink are based on Friends record sources. A shading of the upper right tip of the card, accompanied by a numerical notation, signified that the member is recorded as having contributed a certain amount to the fund for the building of the present Wilmington Friends Meeting House, the building which was constructed in 1816. There does not appear to have been a William Wade Hinshaw index com- piled for Wilmington Monthly Meeting after it was set off from Newark (Kennett) Monthly Meeting. It is hoped that this card file may help to meet the need for such an index.
