He settled in what is now Collingswood, but at the time was Newton colony. He built the first meeting house in Newton, near Newton creek. He is buried in the Old Newton cemetery in Collingswood, N.J. Thank you for the wealth of information about the Friends Meeting-houses within the old settlements of N,J, and vicinity. The work you have done in research is invaluable.

My boyfriend had found this meetinghouse a few years ago by chance one day while travelling the roads of Burlington County. So today he brought me there to check it out! While attempting to find out more about this mysterious meetinghouse's history, we stumbled upon your web site. We have seen a few of the meetinghouses you list. Although simple and modest, they are great buildings. I hope to see more articles from you in the future! Feel free to check out my site and my travels in NJ History.Kelly @ NJ Historyhttp://www.thehistorygirl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-779291837523434339.post-51620223381610101752011-08-03T22:12:00.745-04:002011-08-03T22:12:00.745-04:00Martin:
Thank you so much for reading my blog and...Martin:<br /><br />Thank you so much for reading my blog and for your incredibly kind comments. Because the Society of Friends first settled West New Jersey as a colony, the iconic appearance of meetinghouses across the cultural landscape and a discussion of their histories always seem to elicit a strong response. <br /><br />The Salem Quarter is a real treasure and I am pleased to have the volume as part of my library's Quaker collection. I wish other Quarterly Meetings would undertake similar tasks, thereby providing local historians with unparalleled primary-source information!<br /><br />I felt comfortable enough with the accuracy of the information imparted to publish it on my blog, despite the missing discussion of meetings in the lower counties. Hence, I reproduced it here without comment, allowing the reader to draw their own conclusions from the text.<br /><br />I hope to publish additional Quaker articles in the future.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />JerseymanJerseymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16969274790456424479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-779291837523434339.post-46701638918897354812011-08-03T18:37:54.496-04:002011-08-03T18:37:54.496-04:00Wow, you've practically compiled a book! Thank...Wow, you've practically compiled a book! Thanks for all the work. This is like candy for me, since I'm a history geek, Quaker, and Jerseyman myself (since following an Absecon girl across the Delaware River ten years ago). But I'm also the editor of The Friend's successor publication, Friends Journal. If you ever get the hankering to root through more volumes, let me know.<br /><br />Also you've probably have seen the history of Salem Quarter, it's maybe 15 years old, out of print but probably obtainable. It's a great resource for long-forgotten South Jersey meetings and wouldn't have the biases The Friend would have been sporting in the 1880's.Martin Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06999620933648327663noreply@blogger.com
