Biographical / Historical
Cecil Monthly Meeting was established in 1698 out of Third Haven Monthly Meeting. The Orthodox meeting was discontinued in 1928. Cecil Monthly Meeting (Hicksite) became inactive around 1899. In 1941, a "revived meeting" named Cecil Monthly Meeting was established to care for the property & transfer the title to Third Haven Monthly Meeting; this body met primarily in Swarthmore, Pa., and ceased activity in 1952 after its objectives were attained.
