A History of Quakers in Southern Maryland
1871 A Quaker meeting, known as "Patuxent Monthly Meeting", was organized in Hughesville, Maryland (Charles County). It was part of the Orthodox group of Baltimore Yearly Meeting . The minister was named Neave, and he served until his death in 1929. The Meeting had 28 members in 1876 and a peak of 36 members.
1942 The above mentioned Meeting was laid down during World War II; the membership having dwindled to 2-3 families. The Meeting House was torn down. A small cemetery remains.
i took a test about what religion I most matched with and to my surprise it was as a Quaker- I never would have thought, but after reading up on their religion they amke a lot of sense.
