See [[Branches of Plymouth Brethren]] to explain abbreviation types (although in short: OB (& TW-P) are Halls & Chapels within the "open brethren" (although GH's (generally) maintain a separate network from the Chapels). EB/TW/TW-N are "Careful" Brethren (similar to OB Halls), and BC are (generally) independent community churches with early or indirect PB influence, and will (usually) not consider themselves "Brethren").  AA/CA refers to assemblies of African or Caribbean origin, or predominant demographic, although all ethnicities are overly welcome in any assemblies.

The above primer link expands on the abbreviations, and also contains introduction to this (and other) sheets within the overall [[History]]. There have been scores of branches with their own distinctive networks and strengths within the history of the PB, and many branches continue to flourish today, and while no assembly or gathering is identical to the others, each is thought to maintain a fervent desire for simplicity in gathering around the Lord Jesus, though practices and secondary doctrines may vary culturally and/or preferentially as autonomous (yet inter-dependent) local churches.

===Cheever Township===
 +
* From +1878-1880+, Howard William Kann (b. 1846 Adams Co., PA - d. 1930 Spokane, WA) and his wife Emma Susan Benner Kann (b. 1857 Gettysburg, Adams, PA - d. 1938 Spokane, WA) resided in Cheever township in Dickinson Co., KS.  By 1896 they were residing in Spokane.  Their daughter Lilly May Kann (b. 1878 Cheever Twp., Dickinson, KS - d. 1944 Walla Walla, WA) was married in 1906 to Jeptha "Charles" Thonney (b. 1883 Walla Walla, WA - d. 1950 Kirkland, King, WA) who was raised in the [[Walla Walla Meeting Room, WA]] (TW-eb), a descendant of the founder, Jean Gabriel Thonney (b. 1827 Vullien, Vaud, Switzerland - d. 1902 WW, WA).  By 1944, Lilly was in fellowship with that meeting with Charles.  It is arguable that Howard & Emma Kann (or Lilly) could have been in fellowship in either the meeting at Chapman or Manchester.

Latest revision as of 10:56, 8 October 2025

See Branches of Plymouth Brethren to explain abbreviation types (although in short: OB (& TW-P) are Halls & Chapels within the "open brethren" (although GH's (generally) maintain a separate network from the Chapels). EB/TW/TW-N are "Careful" Brethren (similar to OB Halls), and BC are (generally) independent community churches with early or indirect PB influence, and will (usually) not consider themselves "Brethren"). AA/CA refers to assemblies of African or Caribbean origin, or predominant demographic, although all ethnicities are overly welcome in any assemblies.

The above primer link expands on the abbreviations, and also contains introduction to this (and other) sheets within the overall History. There have been scores of branches with their own distinctive networks and strengths within the history of the PB, and many branches continue to flourish today, and while no assembly or gathering is identical to the others, each is thought to maintain a fervent desire for simplicity in gathering around the Lord Jesus, though practices and secondary doctrines may vary culturally and/or preferentially as autonomous (yet inter-dependent) local churches.

Assemblies are sorted geographically, and will, D.V., eventually have further history within. Red links on Brethrenpedia are presently undeveloped, and blue links contain data. Appreciate patience with our progress, and if you'd like to help, please contact any of the editing team, preferably via social media.

Chapman

Cheever Township

  • From +1878-1880+, Howard William Kann (b. 1846 Adams Co., PA - d. 1930 Spokane, WA) and his wife Emma Susan Benner Kann (b. 1857 Gettysburg, Adams, PA - d. 1938 Spokane, WA) resided in Cheever township in Dickinson Co., KS. By 1896 they were residing in Spokane. Their daughter Lilly May Kann (b. 1878 Cheever Twp., Dickinson, KS - d. 1944 Walla Walla, WA) was married in 1906 to Jeptha "Charles" Thonney (b. 1883 Walla Walla, WA - d. 1950 Kirkland, King, WA) who was raised in the Walla Walla Meeting Room, WA (TW-eb), a descendant of the founder, Jean Gabriel Thonney (b. 1827 Vullien, Vaud, Switzerland - d. 1902 WW, WA). By 1944, Lilly was in fellowship with that meeting with Charles. It is arguable that Howard & Emma Kann (or Lilly) could have been in fellowship in either the meeting at Chapman or Manchester.
