Biographical / Historical
Richland Monthly Meeting was established in 1742 by Philadelphia Quarterly Meeting out of Gwynedd Monthly Meeting. Its opening session was held in 11mo, 1742/3. In 1786, Richland was transferred to Abington Quarterly Meeting. After the Hicksite Separation of 1827, Orthodox Friends were attached to Gwynedd Monthly Meeting. The Hicksite monthly meeting was the forerunner of the current Richland Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends.
