Show detail Hide detail

Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in Canada. East Farnham (Québec), Monthly Meeting : The Farnham Meeting of Friends was a Monthly Meeting of Ferrisburg Quarterly Meeting (Orthodox), which belonged to New York Yearly Meeting. It was established by Vermont Friends who, because of the unpopularity of Quaker attitudes towards the War of the American Revolution, left New England and settled at Allen's Corner (later East Farnham) in Brome County, Lower Canada. Unofficial meetings for worship began about 1814 and were formerly authorized by Ferrisburg Monthly Meeting in 1821. The first meeting house was built in 1823. The Preparative Meeting was established in 1826 and the Monthly Meeting set off in 1842. It was eventually laid down in 1902.
