I am searching for information about the parents of Emeline Chew. She was born in Pennsylvania on August 21, 1814, I believe. Her father was Richard CHEW, and her mother was Hannah Lowden(?). It is believed that Richard was related to Benjamin Chew of Cliveden in Germantown. Emeline was married to John O. Nichols in about 1838, and they moved to Perry, Dallas County, Iowa, and later to New Jersey, where Emma, John, Jim, Louisa, Anna, and Rebecca were born. They returned to Iowa. They were Quakers. Emeline died on December 30, 1908, in White Oak Township, Hubbard County, Minnesota. I have been told that Emeline was the "black sheep" of the family because she moved to Iowa. Perhaps she was disowned? If anyone can tell me about Emeline or Richard Chew, Hannah Lowden, or John O. Nichols, I would greatly appreciate it. I have looked at some Quaker sites, but I haven't had any luck, and I'm not sure where to go to next. Thank you.
