I was very interested to find out that the Marsh, Davis and Hollingsworth families were in Marion Co., IN. These are all Quaker families that go back to Chester Co., PA/Lancaster Co., PA

The earliest Marsh I have found is William MARSH b. 1683 m. abt. 1710 Sarah Williams Chester Co., PA d. 1744. They had 13 children. #12 Lydia Marsh b. abt 1720 m. George LEONARD Sadsbury MM, PA. I am trying to trace my LEONARD family line that was in Guilford Co., NC late 1700's and migrated to Hendricks Co., IN. I would be interested if anyone has information on George LEONARD who m. Lydia MARSH.

John or Jessie Davis was also a Quaker b. abt 1660 in Birmingham, Chester Co., PA or England d. March 1719/20 Thornbury Twp, Chester Co., PA m. Mary. Two generations later a Jesse Davis b. 1762 came to Guilford Co., NC m. Elizabeth Reynolds b. Nov 13, 1759 in Center, Guilford Co., NC m. in Center Meeting House, Randolph Co., NC d. Oct 12, 1815 in Center, Guilford Co., NC . There is an excellent URL for the Davis line: http://members.tripod.com/Dr.G/davis.htm

I am interested in the Davis family because they also connect with the LEONARD family in Guilford Co., NC.
Althea LEONARD b. c 1837 Guilford Co., NC m. Milton RICKS/RIX their third child Jospeh Ricks b 1858 m. 1879 Sarah Jane DAVIS b Nov 1, 1859 Grant Co., IN.

Many of these Quakers migrated from MD, to PA, to NC, and then IN. Several lines then went on to OH & IL.

I would be interested in any information you have on the Leonard, Davis, Ricks or Marsh family connections.
