Show detail Hide detail

Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in Canada. Yearly Meeting : The Society of Friends, which originated in seventeenth century England during the Civil War, was established in Canada at the end of the eighteenth and beginning of the nineteenth centuries by Friends who migrated from the U.S.A., largely as a result of the unpopularity which their attitude toward the War of the American Revolution had brought them. They came chiefly from the States of the Atlantic seaboard and settled mainly in the Bay of Quinté (1798), Niagara (1799), and Yonge Street (1804) areas of Upper Canada.
