Hi,
I would check the web pages of the Historical Society of Pa., Swarthmore College (Friends Historical Library) and Haverford College. You might be able to check their archives online. Both Swarthmore and Haverford College are Quaker schools in the Philadelphia area, both have web pages and a Google search should turn up both. I would think that a Family document like that would end up in a archives where it could be protected.

Subject: [PA-QUAKERS] Welsh Founders of Pennsylvania

I would be very grateful if someone could enlighten me on the following -

In T. A. Glenns book , "The Welsh Founders of Pennsylvania" page 101 - 107 of Vol 2 , (Addenda), there is reference to several pedigree family documents brought from Wales, from 1797 onwards, which relate to the Owen, Evans and Allied Families .
Does anyone know where these original documents are kept ?

Rowland Evans of Haverford and Mrs. William Parker Foulke are mentioned as possessing these documents - are any of their descendants still alive who may be able to help ?

Another reference to a document is on page 101 as follows
(b) The geneology here given of the descendants of Evan Robert Lewis is from supposedly several years older than those by Cadwaladr Evans (1797) and is in the possession of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, bound in a MS. Volume of the Genealogical Society's "Collections", marked "Some Records Relating to Radnor Meeting."



A photocopy of a transcription of this document is to be found in the Records of Radnor and Merion Meetings, that is part of the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania's collections, with a note attached stating "inserted by persons unknown ". Can anyone offer an explanation as to where the original document is ?



Any comments on the above would be greatly appreciated.
