Subject: RE: Folklore: ?or BS? Larry answers Spaws Querry
I was a bit younger than Spaw when Morrison and the others carried out their deaths, so I had to refresh my memory through a google search. In doing so, I came across this site whihc has, imo, some interesting thoughts and quotes.

Spaw and Larry, thanks so much for asking the questions and for answering. Finding just this year that a bunch fo my ancestors were Friends, I find this incredibly educational and interesting. It helps me to understand my ancestors, esp. the one who went into the "wilds of Indiana" along and without weapons, saying his honest face would stand him in good stead with the "Indians." Larry, am I right in assuming that Friends' being comfortable with their own silence may have had something to do with their success with Native American tribes as well as their beliefs of God in everyone and thing?

Thanks, again,

kat
