I don't know that any records of Chestnut Creek Preparative Meeting exist.
When organized, it was part of Westfield MM, then became part of Mt.
Pleasant MM when it was set off from Westfield in 1801.

Although Friends kept relatively complete birth and death records,
membership lists aren't very common before 1900. Either Friends saw no
reason to compile them, or they didn't survive. I've seen a few, but
they're exceptional.
