Quaker Genealogy in Southwest Ohio: Samuel Reeder Battin ~ Leader of Green Plain Monthly Meeting

Quaker Genealogy in Southwest Ohio

Waynesville, Ohio was a central hub in the Quaker migration west from the states of Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Georgia from 1795 onward. Seeking to escape from slavery, Quaker families settled in the Northwest Territory, in the area of southwest Ohio, establishing meetings like a wheel around Waynesville. Some families settled here and others moved on to Indiana and points further west. Quakers from the Mid-Atlantic States also settled in the area or continued on west.

About Me

Name: Karen Campbell

Location: Waynesville, Ohio, United States

I am the genealogy librarian at The Mary L. Cook Public Library in Waynesville, Ohio. I am interested in all aspects of our local history but my special interest is in mid-western Quaker history and genealogy. I have authored and compiled some books: Quaker Education and Miami Valley Institute: A Hicksite Quaker College, Murder in Waynesville: The Anderson Tragedy, Obituaries and Death Notices found in the Miami-Visitor Weekly Newspaper of Waynesville, etc., and Friendly Research: An Introduction to Quaker Genealogical Research, etc. I feel that the history and legacy of The Society of Friends in this area of Ohio is interesting, significant and edifying. The history of Waynesville, Ohio is a microcosm of American history. Waynesville was a town made up of a diverse group of pioneers and its development paralleled the diversity, the struggles and the growth of the United States. I am also interested in the history and culture of other local towns, villages and hamlets in the area, for example, Harveysburg, Ohio. AND, as you can also tell from my blog, "Conversations with my Cats", I love cats!!
