An American Family History

Eliza Yerkes Fox's ancestors came to America before 1683 from Germany or the Netherlands and settled in the Manor of Moreland in Pennsylvania. They relocated to Jefferson County, Virginia (now West Virginia) and then moved to Hamilton Township, Butler County, Ohio where Eliza died. Her family went on to Washington Township, Carroll County, Indiana.

Thomas Walton and his brothers came from England to Pennsylvania where they joined the Byberry Friends Meeting. At the time of the Kethian split, only Nathaniel remained with the Byberry Meeting. Many of the members left the meeting and some became members of the Pennepek Baptist Church where the Reverend John Watts was pastor.

The Hunns and Kitchens were Quakers who were persecuted for their beliefs in early Massachusetts.
