Page 444: "A Meeting for worship was held at the house of Peter Lester, several years before the Gwynedd monthly granted the Richland preparative meeting, about 1721 or 1723, when a small meeting-house was erected a mile below Quakertown, on the property belonging to William Shaw. The increase of Friends mad a larger house necessary, and, in 1729, a lot was purchased in the middle of the settlement, on which a new meeting-house was built. Among those most active in religious matters, from the first Page 445: - Line 1: [es]tablishment of the meeting, we find the names of Foulke, Roberts, Moore, Ball, Shaw, Iden, Ritter and Dennis. The Foulke Family has furnished six elders, six clerks, and two accepted ministers. - Line 5: In 1781, eleven of the leading members of the Richland meeting, viz: Samuel Foulke, James Chapman, Thomas Edwards, Enoch Roberts, Everard Foulke, Thomas Thomas, John Thomas, John Foulke, Thomas Foulke, John Lester and William Edwards, were disowned for subscribing the oath of allegiance to the colonies, but the yearly meeting failing to concur, most of them retained their membership. - The first marriage in the monthly meeting took place September 24, 1743, between Samuel Foulke and Annie Greasly. The earliest certificate of marriage in this section, is that of William Edwards of Milford, and Martha, daughter of Hugh Foulke, October 4, 1738, and among the witnesses are the names of Edwards, Foulke, Roberts, Griffith, Lester, Ball and others well known in this section. [3] We are told that during the Revolution the men about Quakertown organized themselves into a company to enter the patriot service, and used to meet to drill under the large oak tree that stands near the Friends' meeting house.
