Abstract
The Quaker families of Jones and Cadbury were interrelated with many other Quaker families in the United States and England. This collection provides a rich source of genealogical and historical information, not only on the Jones and Cadbury families, and especially Mary Hoxie Jones (1904-2003) and Emma Cadbury Jr. (1875-1965), but also, significantly, on the Warder family, as well as the Bartram, Brown, Carter, Foulke, Kaighn, Lowry, Mennell, Pearsall, Shinn, and Shipley families.
Arrangement
Papers (boxes 1-109) are arranged alphabetically by family name - Bartram, Cadbury (American branch, followed by the British branch of the family), Carter, etc. and alphabetically within family name. The exception to this arrangement are the papers of the British Cadbury families, which are organized under the relevant family tree (numbered 1 to 12) from John Crosfield's A history of the Cadbury family. To locate the papers of an individual in the collection, consult the finding aid below or for a British Cadbury, the index to Crosfield's book as a guide to the correct family tree. Artifacts and photographs follow at the end of the collection (boxes 110 -139)
