~• a sub project of https://www.geni.com/projects/Middletown-Meeting-formerly-Neshamina-early-Quaker-settlers-of-Bucks-County/33484

Purpose

1. To establish a better tree linking these Quaker families back along the Yorkshire/Lancashire border to those who emigrated to the settlements of Bucks County, Pennsylvania Province.
2. To branch out along additional family lines in any locale by extending the general Tatham/Settle/Lancashire border area tree of the 16th and 17th centuries in particular.

Means

1. Exploring the Parish records of Tatham and Settle.
2. Inclusion of all Geni profiles that show promise of establishing marital and parental links
3. Involving as many GENi profile managers as possible whose pedigrees include ancestors of this era.

Discussion

It was by the examination of a list of 16th and 17th century St. James Church weddings in Tatham parish, Lancashire that a significant number of duplicate surnames showed up in relation to 17th century Quaker emigration to Bucks County Pennsylvania colony. After careful analyses extra links between families are now becoming apparent. New profiles are being added and merges of existing ones are being done.
