John,
I have to admire the massive amount of effort you put in to this research! I did want to purchase a copy of this CD if any are available.:-)
For a further foot note, The acutal Quaker records ( the documents, dealing with some of these individuals) are normaly kept at the Haviland Library on Long Island, however at present, they are at the Friends Historical Library, Swarthmore Collage, PA., being microfilmed. To my understanding these records are a collection of presonal papres, family bibiles, and some minets of the Monthly Meetings, when they started keeping minets. Originaly the Long Island Quaker settelments came under the New England Yearly Meeting and later, the New York yealy meeting was formed. there has been a concerted effort to preserve the records of the Monthly Meetings and the Quartley, Half, and Yearly Meetings among the Society of Friends at large. Records of the Preparative Meetings (local community meetings for worship) may or may not be able to be found if they exist, they most likely will be found at a local Meeting House or a historical society in the area which they were created.
