Editorial Review Product Description Whether she's talking about grief overdying lambs, the plague of Monkey Mind, flipping sheep, or a barnyardfashion crisis, O'Reilley keeps her metaphors down to earth and herepiphanies humble. The structure is especially inviting: a collectionof brief essays of only about three to five pages each. But thiscollection also reads like a journey with a beginning and an end. Itstarts with O'Reilley as a college professor who decides to try somepart-time animal husbandry at a local farm and ends with her finding anew direction in life that we can only hope will inspire her to writea sequel. --Gail Hudson Customer Reviews (19)

Editorial Review Product Description Quakerism came to Scotland with the Cromwellian occupation of the 1650s. Scottishmissionaries eventually spread the faith to various locations throughout the country, includingAberdeen in the Northeast, Edinburgh and Kelso in the southeast, and Hamilton in the west. TheSociety of Friends never grew to large numbers in Scotland, however, owing to its persecutionby both the Episcopal and Presbyterian churches, as well as civic authorities. Understandably, anumber of Scottish Quakers ultimately emigrated to the North American colonies; for example,there were some Scottish Quakers among the landowners of West Jersey as early as 1664, andbetween 1682 and 1685 several shiploads of emigrants left the ports of Leith, Montrose, andAberdeen for East Jersey. Drawing upon research conducted in both Scotland and the United States in manuscript and inpublished sources, David Dobson has here amassed all the genealogical data that we know ofconcerning members of the Society of Friends in Scotland prior to 1700 and the origins ofScottish Quakers living in East New Jersey in the 1680s. While there is great deal of variation inthe descriptions of the roughly 500 Scottish Quakers listed in the volume, the entries typicallygive the individual's name, date or place of birth, and occupation, and sometimes the name of aspouse or date of marriage, name of parents, place and reason for imprisonment in Scotland,place of indenture, date of death, and the source of the information. Without a doubt this is aground-breaking work on the subject of Scottish emigration to North America during thecolonial period. |

Essential Information About Quaker History for Adults, Too! We are a small, simple group of people, and the Quaker faith involves strong and unconventional spiritual beliefs (silent worship, women speaking in meeting as early as the 1600's, lack of a minister, non-dogmatic use of Scripture), mysticism, acceptance of other believers (it is not unusal to find Unitarians, Wiccas, Catholics and Buddhists in Quaker meetings), lifestyles (simplicity, most often in a non-Luddite manner), and activism (nonviolence, anti-death penalty, prison reform.)Note: Although Friends were active in the abolitionist movement, this came about only after a minority of Friends convinced the majority that slavery was an abomination. In this tastefully illustrated book,you will read about the beginnings of the movement in England, with George Fox.Follow the faith to the Americas, with information about the conflicts that divided the faith into two different groups. An absolute must for each Friend's (or those interested in learning about other Faiths, including Quakers) reading list, along with George Fox's and John Woolman's Journals, Jessamyn West's The Quaker Reader, and Robert L. Smith's A Quaker Book of Wisdom. ... Read more |

Philadelphia area records from the late 1600's thru late 1800's
Essential for Quaker Research DearREADERS, "Totally thrilled" describes my feelings as I received my copy of the index to our library's copy of William Wade Hinshaw's Encyclopedia of Quaker Genealogy 1750-1930. This past summer I discovered I have Welsh and English Quaker ancestry in Chester County, PA. (Merion on the Welsh Tract.) Prior to this I'd had no personal experience doing Quaker Research. When I asked others about Quaker Research, they raved about Mr. Hinshaw's six volume compilation of Friend's Monthly Meeting records listing births, deaths, marriages and removals. That last term refers to entries in the church books when Society of Friends members moved from one area to another. They were removed from the old Monthly Meeting membership in order to join the new group. We're fortunate to have Mr. Hinshaw's complete set of Encyclopedia of Quaker Genealogy at our local public library. As I uncover new names to research, I'll be turning again and again to Henshaw's Encyclopedia of Quaker Genealogy. From the publisher: "William Wade Hinshaw's renowned Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, originally published between 1936 and 1950. Containing approximately 500,000 entries.. each volume ha[s] a separate surname index..." "Almost no class of records, religious or secular, has been kept as meticulously as the monthly meeting records of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). The oldest such records span three centuries of American history and testify to a general movement of population that extended from New England and the Middle Atlantic states southward to Virginia, the Carolinas, and Georgia; then west to Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. The importance of these records cannot be overstated. Not until recently have the vital statistics of Quakers been recorded in civil record offices. Thus, for more than two centuries, the only vital records identifying these people are to be met with in the Quaker records themselves. Fortunately, the monthly meeting records contain extensive lists of births, marriages, and deaths, as well as details of the removal of members from one meeting to another. (The monthly meeting, during which vital statistics are recorded, is in fact, a business meeting.)" Painstakingly developed from these monthly meeting records, Hinshaw's Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy is the magnum opus of Quaker genealogy.In its production, thousands of records were located and abstracted into a uniform and intelligible system of notation. The data gathered in these volumes of the Encyclopedia are arranged by meeting, then alphabetically by family name, and chronologically thereunder. Volume 1: NORTH CAROLINA Volume II: NEW JERSEY AND PENNSYLVANIA Volume III: NEW YORK Volume IV: OHIO Volume V: OHIO Volume VI: VIRGINIA" If as the publisher suggests, 50% of our pre-1850 US ancestors were Quaker, than every researcher needs a personal copy of the index, and every genealogy library needs the six volumeEncyclopedia! ...
