Kennett Society of Friends Monthly Meeting Abstracts, Chester Co., PA

Source: FHL film# 20402. Note: The title page reads Kennett Monthly Meeting Marriage Certificates 1718-1821. However, this is followed by a note on the same page which reads “This is probably the marriage certificates book of the Newark Monthly Meeting”. And it may well be a combination of both as the certificates of removal are all initially those of the Newark Monthly Meeting and then later of Kennett Monthly Meeting. These is also included some, but apparently not all, of the birth records of the Kennett Monthly Meeting. Note also that this is NOT a complete record of all those Webb related records.
