Swarthmore, Pa. !NOTE: Found in New Garden Monthly Meeting the following:" Page 3 1721 Henry Parsons of ye Township of Notingham In ye County of Chester & Province of Pensilvania Son of John Parsons of ye City of Bristol In ye kingdom of Great Britian Blacksmith & Marget Brown of ye Above said Township & County...11, 3m Called May, 1721... In their publick Meeting Place in Notingham...Turn over". Then it gives all the witnesses to the marriage. !NOTE: Found at Swarthmore College "Minutes of the East and West Nottingham Monthly Meetings": In May of 1758 Henry was having trouble with a debt he was supposedly owed to Ellen Brown. She filed a complaint to the Preparative Meeting on her behalf. The Preparative Meeting assigned some fellow members to try and resolve the complaint. The Friends tried for months to get it resolved to no avail. In September 1759 they sent him a letter which he did not answer plus he relayed a message to the Friends that he would not pay the debt. Finally in February 1760 they prepared a letter to disown him from the Society if he did not settle the matter. On March 3, 1762 the West Nottingham Preparative Meeting informs the East Nottingham Meeting that Henry Parsons is in a grave cicumstance. The meeting appointed Friends to investigate the information and report back the next month.They reported back that Henry was in want of help; but it's said his son offers to maintain him if he would live with him, which he refused to do. The meeting appointed more Friends to inspect further and report back to the Meeting. In May 1762 Henry still refused to live with his son and it appeared he is in immediate want of help. The meeting again appointed Friends to confer and advise him to what they may think most nesessary and report to next Meeting. The Meeting decided to help Henry and appointed a person to take care of him. The Friends took care of Henry until Oct of 1770 at which time he died.
