Abstract:

Research relating to Quaker Meetings in Maryland by Carroll T. Sinclair, including manuscript material and photographs prepared in the mid-20th century.

Carroll Taylor Sinclair (1894-1965) was the son of Thomas Carroll Sinclair (1868-1950) and Bessie Taylor Sinclair (1874-1958). He was married to Geraldine K. Sinclair (1898-1990); they lived in Baltimore, Maryland.

These papers consist of materials collected by Carroll T. Sinclair for a book on Friends' Meetings in Maryland, unfinished because of his death. Included are notebooks of extracts from the minutes of Monthly and Quarterly Meetings (photocopies, with manuscript notes); a notebook containing a photocopy of a book by Levi K. Brown, An Account of the Meetings... within the Limits of Baltimore Yearly Meeting (Philadelphia, 1875); a notebook of photostats of extracts from Quaker books concerning George Fox's travels in Maryland; seven folders of manuscript material and pictures, largely pertaining to the Taylor family, especially Colonel Thomas Taylor, and nine envelopes of photographs of meetinghouses, documents, etc.
