This study of Exeter Monthly Meeting of the Society of Friends in Berks County, Pennsylvania, is based upon intensive primary research in religious and governmental records and places these backcountry Quakers within the framework of much recent scholarship on Euro-Americans in colonial Pennsylvania. Karen Guenther uses a chronological and topical structure in examining the evolution of Exeter from its founding in 1737 by Friends, who included the parents of Daniel Boone, to its decline after 1789, marked by division from Robeson and Catawissa monthly meetings. |
