Although Certificates of Removal must generally be issued for the trans- fer of membership from one MM to another, the rule does not hold when a new MM is set off from an older MM; for in such a case, all families living with- in the Verge of the new MM are automatically transferred (without certificates) from the older Mtg to the new Mtg. It would be more satisfactory to searchers if certificates had been issued to each person for this transfer, since by such a rule, all members of the new MM would have been clearly identified in the records, and the names of all would have been listed on the opening pages of books.
The Title page of the first book of Minutes of Little Brittain MM reads as follows:
"LITTLE BRITTAIN MONTHLY MEETING BOOK -- of the Records & Minutes of Men Friends, from its first establishment into a Monthly Meeting: first opened the 6th of the 10th mo, 1804 at Eastland Meeting House, and consisting of the Particular & Preparative Meetings of Little Brittain & Eastland, heretofore branches of Nottingham Monthly Meeting; remaining to the Western Quarterly Meeting as one branch thereof."
At this time Little Brittain Preparative Mtg had been in existence since 1748, and as a branch of Nottingham MM had sent representatives to that meeting each month during its entire existence. It had had its Overseers, & other officers and a perfect organization from the beginning, so that when it was established as a Monthly Mtg it was a perfect "working Entity." The opening statement in the Men's Minutes reads as follows:
"At the opening of Little Brittain Monthly Meeting, held at Eastland Mtg House the 6th Day of the 10th Month 1804. The Representatives from the Preparative Meetings are: for Little Brittain, Joshua Brown, Jr & Isaac Webster; for Eastland, Henry Reynolds & Benjamin Mason, who being called were all present." As Preparative Meetings have no regular Clerk, Jeremiah Brown was appointed "Clerk for the Day"; the following members were appointed as a committee to select a regular clerk and submit his name the next meeting, viz: John Webster, Joseph Stubbs, Jeremiah Brown, Samuel Carter, John Kinsey & Reuben Reynolds.
"The following Minute was now produced from our last Quarterly Meeting, and the Friends therein named all attended, except William Mode, (to wit) : "Nottingham Monthly Meeting informs they have agreed, that East & West Nottingham Meetings compose Nottingham MM, to be held alternately between them, at East Nottingham in the even months. Little Brittain & Eastland Meetings to compose a new Monthly Meeting to be called Little Brittain MM, to be held alternately on the seventh Day of the week after the first Second Day in each Month, to open at Eastland in the 10th Month next; which report being approbated; James Wilson, John Parker, Enoch Gray, David Wilson, Caleb Swayne & William Mode are appointed to attend the opening meetings and report their care to next Quarterly Meeting." (Later Drumore PM was est & joined to Little Brittain MM.)
"The subject of suitable Friends to fill the Station of Elders for this MM, coming under consideration; the meeting unites in re-appointing the Friends heretofore in that Station, appointed by Nottingham MM who now reside in the compass of this (to wit): Benjamin Mason, John Webster, Isaiah Brown, Sarah Hough, Ruth Webster, Sarah Mason & Elizabeth Harlan."

"The subject respecting the Overseers heretofore appointed (by Notting- ham MM) for our Preparative Meetings coming under consideration, and the sentiments of Friends pretty generally expressed in favor of continuing those heretofore in that Station, this Meeting unites in appointing them, with desires thay may attend to the weighty trust committed to their care (Viz't): for Little Brittain, Isaac Webster & Isaiah Brown; for Eastland, Samuel Carter & Reuben Reynolds."
"The subject respecting distillation, trading in & unnecessary use of spirituous liquors coming under consideration, the following Friends are appointed to attend to the case agreeable to the directions of our last Yearly Meeting, (Viz't): John Kinsey, John Brown, Joseph Richardson & Joshua Brown, Jr."
"The following Friends are appointed to collect the faithful sufferings of Friends within the compass of this Mtg, for the testimony of a good conscience against Military measures; & to endeavour to strengthen any of our members & young men that may be in danger of giving way therein, (Viz't) : Joseph Richardson, Joshua Brown, Jr, Isaiah Brown, Reuben Reynolds & Jesse Pickering."
The first Minutes of the Women's Meeting:
"At the opening of Little Brittain Monthly Meeting, the 6th of 10th mo, 1804; the Representatives were all present, except Ruth Carter (2nd w of Samuel Carter) whom we are informed, was hindered by indisposition in her family."
"Sarah Hough, Dinah Richardson, Miriam Brown, Elizabeth Harlan, Mary Kinsey, Margaret Reynolds, Ann Gray & Hannah Embree are appointed to select suitable persons to ack as Clerk & Assistant Clerk."
"Sarah Hough, Sarah Mason, Elizabeth Harlan & Ruth Webster, who have stood in the station of Elders for Nottingham MM, are reappointed to fill the same station in the Meeting." ¢
At the second Meeting 11 mo-1804, the Women's Mtg appointed the follow- ing committees to fill various stations: To attend the next QM: Dinah Richardson, Hannah Webster, Ann Pickering & Ann Gray. To ack as Clerks: Ruth Webster, clerk & Pamela Harlan, Asst Clerk. To have care of the Poor: Deborah Brown, Hannah Embree & Margaret Reynolds. As Overseers (all of whom had stood as Overseers under Nottingham): Hannah Webster, Deborah Brown, Margaret Reynolds & Ruth Carter are appointed.
At the Second Meeting of the Men's Meeting (11mo-1804) various appoint- ments were made as follows: Joseph Stubbs, James King, Abel Kinsey & John Bronw (representatives from the PM); John Kinsey apptd Clerk for the Day. Joseph Stubbs, Thomas Wood, Daniel Kenny & Samuel Richardson are apptd to attend the next QM.
Answer to the 2nd Query: "Love & Unity we believe subsists in a good degree among Friends, although an increase thereof would be profitable, tale- bearing, back-biting & spreading evil reports discouraged to a good degree, & endeavours used to end apparent differences."

At the Second Mtg of both Men & Women, the following minute is shown: "Jonathan Livezey, s of Daniel Livezey, dec, & Margery his wife, and Mary King, dt of Vincent King, dec, & Mary his wife, appeared & de- clared their intentions of marriage with each other, with consent of parents. Aaron Quinby & Isaiah Brown are appointed to make enquiry re- specting his clearness from others in relation to marriage & report to next Meeting; and Lydia Quinby & Dinah Richardson are appointed to make the usual enquiry respecting the young woman & report to the next meet - ing." (Note: The above combines the minutes of the Men's Mtg & the Women's Mtg; it is quoted here as an example of how marriages are con- summated in any Friends' Mtg; the committees appointed visit the parties, and then report to the next meeting whether anything was found to obstruct the marriage; if nothing to obstruct be found, the Mtg then (after a 2nd appearance before it of the parties, who must come "hand-in-hand" before both Men & Women and say that they continue their intentions) "liberates" them to marry, and appoints a committee to attend the marriage and bring the marriage certificate to the Recorder for recording. At the next mtg, this committee reports that the marriage was "orderly accomplished". The actual date of a marriage is not usually given in the minutes, but is found in the Marriage Records, which record the full marriage certificate with signatures of the parties and witnesses.)
In the following compilation of the minutes and records of Little Brittain MM, an endeavor is made to combine marriage certificates & births of children, certificates of removal, etc, of each separate family in a single item, as far as possible. Where definite identifications cannot be made, separate items are entered. Names and items written between parentheses are supplied by the compiler.
9-2mo-1805 (M-v1, p6) "We believe that Friends (our members) are careful to live in the bounds of their circumstances, and not launch into trade or business beyond their ability to manage." At the Mtg on 9-5mo-1807 "the Committee" reported that their MH stands on a lot of 5 acres with a clear patent regularly conveyed to its four Trustees at first and in 1796 to other trustees, viz: Jeremiah Brown, John Webster, James King & Samuel Richardson; John Webster having removed to OH, it is deemed sufficient that the other 3 trustees should hold the trusteeship alone. At the Mtg held 8-8mo-1807 a list of sufferings of properties taken from Friends for exempt fines in lieu of personal military service amounting to $106.03 was rptd & directed to be sent to the QM
11-1mo-1812 An Indulged Mtg for worship granted to Friends of this Mtg living remote from Little Brittain MH, to be held fortnightly. Mtgs to be held in a school house on David Perry's land; to open on 16th of 2mo-1812. Mtgs were held regularly on First Days; and on 10-8mo-1816 they were allowed to hold Week-Day mtgs on 4th Days. On 12-10mo-1816 this Indulged Mtg was established to be called Drumore Mtg for Worship; to hold mtgs on First & Fourth Days; names of Committee mbrs: Jeremiah Brown, James Hambleton, Aaron Quinby, Thomas Furniss, Manuel Reynolds, Jesse Fell, Mercy Brown, Ruth Webster, Sarah Brown, Mary Thomas, Rebeckah Richardson & Mary Reynolds. A new MH was built at Drumore & a mtg held in it 8-2mo-1817. Nottingham QM was established 9-11mo-1816 to be constituted of: Nottingham MM, Little Brittain MM & Deer Creek MM, the new QM to be a branch of Baltimore YM.

On 6-9mo-1817 it was reported that a large new MH was to be built at London Grove, to fill the space occupied by the 2 old Mtg Houses; the new MH to be 95 ft long & 43 ft in width, to accommodate the QM; the costs were estimated at $5,500.00 of which London Grove MM had subscribed $3,000; the balance to be subscribed by other MMs.
On 9-5mo-1818 Little Brittain MM granted a Preparative Meeting to Drumore MM.
On 19-4mo-1823 it is rptd that: "Whereas Little Brittain MH is to be torn down & rebuilt, the MM will be held at Eastland MH until the other house is finished & comes in course to be held there." On 16-8-1823, it was rptd that "our next MM is to be held at Little Brittain in the new mtg house, which is expected to be finished by that time." Also: this new Mtg House is large enough to accommodate the QM.
Men's Min. vl, p 337: 18-10mo-1823, The New Little Brittain MH is reported completed & ready for use; it is of brick, 50 ft long by 40 ft wide with galleries in front upstairs; cost: $2,053.48. Delivered over to Little Brittain PM as a Mtg for Worship by Joshua Brown, Contractor. Re - corded in Little Brittain MM minutes by Gardner Furniss, Clerk.
On 15-8mo-1829 the Little Brittain MM decided that thereafter, members who had been dis and who had made application for re-instatement to the MM within whose compass they might reside, should be rec into mbrp as though they never had a right amongst Friends.
Orthodox Friends ask to held mtgs in Eastland MH; but on consideration, Little Brittain MM decided 18-4-1829 to deny them this privilege, saying that these Friends had been regularly dis, & if they wanted a MH, they should provide for it themselves, since they had willfully separated from this Mtg.
