Biographical / Historical
Scipio Monthly Meeting was established in 1808 under Easton Quarter. After the Separation of 1828 there was another separation in the Orthodox Meeting in 1847, resulting in Orthodox and Wilburite (Conservative) branches. In 1859 another schism occurred in the Wilburite branch, resulting in Otisite and Kingite branches. These branches re-united in 1881. The remaining united Wilburite meetings affiliated with Canada Yearly Meeting (Conservative) in 1916. In 1947 the area meeting was reorganized into Scipio 4-months Meeting, which was laid down in 1954.
