[Genealib] Old Quakers Town

[Mara Munroe]

Elaine,

Have you found the family in 1880 or 1870 censuses?  Heritage Quest 1870
shows Zabels in Newark NJ and one family in Berks Co. PA. 

1880 census on familysearch.org shows a Ferdinand & Theresa Zabel in
Belleville IL.  Both in their 50s, no kids at home.

Subject: [Genealib] Old Quakers Town

 

Hello,
I have a patron that has an old family history that refers to a place
called "Old Quakers Town".  I have been able to find a Quakertown, PA in
Bucks County, a Quakertown Rd. in Middlesex County, New Jersey and a
Quaker City in Guernsey County, Ohio as possibilities. But I wonder if
anyone is aware of an "Old Quakers Town" or a "Quakers Town" that
previously existed but may have changed it's name or otherwise
disappeared?  The time period we're looking at is 1873.  We were looking
for a Zabel family there, spefically a Fritz Zabel who married Theresa
Schliske.  Unfortunately my patron is very short on clues as to where
this place may be.
