Quaker MH Next Goose Creek, Loudoun County, VA  

 

Hannah Ingledew Janney is considered to have been the driving force during the early years of the Goose Creek Meeting. This memorial to Hannah states: "Here on a log in the unbroken forest Hannah Janney, wife of Jacob Janney, worshiped twice weekly in 1736. In 1738 Friends Meetings were held in a private house once a month. Then came a log meeting house, then the old stone house in 1765 and the brick house in 1817." The dates 1736 and 1738 seem to be about 9 years too early.
