On 18-4mo-1748 Bush River PM requested assistance of this Mtg respecting the setting of a place to build a new Mtg House on at .Bush River, the old one being much out of repair and no title to the ground on which it stands. Comm apptd.
On 20-5mo-1751 Bush River PM "having some time ago moved to this meeting some thought of having a Monthly Mtg for business settled on their side of the River Susquehannah, now again revived it, requesting a committee to assist & advise them; such a committee was appointed at the next Mtg, viz: Jeremiah Brown, James Johnson, Joshua Brown, Thomas Churchman, Henry Reynolds, Jr., James Brown & Jeremiah Brown, Jr. to visit them & make a report.
