Biographical / Historical
Gunpowder and Patapsco meetings, formerly part of the Monthly Meeting at the Clifts, were set off as a monthly meeting in 1739. During the Separation of 1828, the meeting divided into Hicksite and Orthodox branches. Membership in the Orthodox branch was small, and in 1844 the meeting was attached to Baltimore Monthly Meeting, Homewood.
