Newberry Meeting, his certificate of removal from Newark, dated 7 Mo. 1,
1750, being received at Warrington Monthly Meeting, 10 Mo. 21, 1752. Robert
Whinery's membership in the Society of Friends was discontinued in 1754

Daughter of Amos McCreary and Hannah Whinery:

Twp, Bedford Co., PA) m. May 1, 1801 Joseph Tomlinson (b. March 23, 1772 d.
August 6, 1858 in Bedford Co). Joseph and Sarah moved from Adams Co to
Bedford Co in 1810 with two young sons Joseph W. and Benjamin

Children of Sarah McCreary and Joseph Tomlinson:
1. Joseph W. - I have lots of info on Joseph W. and his children
2. Benjamin - All the info I have on Benjamin is from Amos McCreary DAR info:
Born Dec. 10, 1805 died 1886
m. 183(8)? E. Emma Gibbons (b. April 4, 1808 d. 1872)
Their daughter: Mary Gibbons Tomlinson m. 1880 Luke Cheney Strider
Info I have found on the Gibbons, Strider & Offut families indicate they
may be from the Charlestown, W.Va area and I have found no record of Benjamin
in Bedford County.

Any info on these families would be appreciated.
