The Committee on History, being widely separated, on that account not able to co-operate in this work, were united in the opinion that Kirk Brown should write up the history, he having charge of Nottingham Monthly Meeting Records, a member of the Maryland Historical Society, and having access to historical matter that was only to be found in Baltimore. The following history, written by Kirk Brown, as agreed to by the Committee on History, was read in a very pleasing manner by Sarah Scott Buffington, Rising Sun, Cecil County, Maryland. It is a difficult matter to write up the history of a local rural district for two centuries, from the fact that such localities seldom make records for the benefit of succeeding generations. Such is the condition of Nottingham, with the exception of the excellent records of that Monthly Meeting, which fortunately have been preserved in good condition. It has been the object of the writer to use those records in their original language wherever possible, believing they contain the true facts to better advantage than any modern modification in language can do. Hoping that this effort may stimulate some minds with a desire to learn more of the history of the past, a knowledge of who their ancestors were, and from whence they came, is the desire of the writer. Nottingham was eminently a settlement of Friends, like the rest of the State of Pennsylvania, governed by this body, religiously and politically. Friends have largely entered into as an important element in the welfare of this locality to the present time. In the spring of 1681, Wm. Penn obtained from King Charles the second, a charter for the territory of Pennsylvania, which was then a wilderness in possession of the...

Book excerpt: Pennsylvania's role in the development of American culture and society has received an increasing amount of attention in the past two decades, as the tercentenary celebrations of the founding of the province led to a reexamination of the colony and state's contributions to the ethnic and religious diversity of modern America. With increasing pluralism, however, the religious group that was most prominent in the establishment of the province - the Society of Friends, or Quakers - declined in its impact and importance.

Download or read book Pacifism in the United States written by Peter Brock and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 1018 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Called "a pioneer work of the first importance" by Staughton Lynd, this book traces the history of pacifism in America from colonial times to the start of World War I. The author describes how the immigrant peace sects-Quaker, Mennonite, and Dunker -faced the challenges of a hostile environment. The peace societies that sprang up after 1815 form the subject of the next section, with particular attention focused upon the American Peace Society and Garrison's New England Non-Resistance Society. A series of chapters on the reactions of these sects and societies to the Civil War, the neglect of pacifism in the postwar period, and the beginnings of a renewal in the years before the outbreak of war in Europe bring the book to a close. The emphasis on the institutional aspects of the movement is balanced throughout by a rich mine of accounts about the experiences of individual pacifists. Originally published in 1968.

Download or read book Cecil County written by Milt Diggins and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Location, location, location: this catchphrase speaks to a dominant theme in the shaping of Cecil County's history. Cecil County is at the head of the Chesapeake Bay, with rivers defining two boundaries and the famous Mason-Dixon Line delineating the northern and eastern boundaries. Close to major cities and known as the most rural county along the northeast corridor of I-95, Cecil has held on to its agricultural heritage while at the same time accommodating the flow of trade, tourists, recreational visitors, dignitaries, military supplies, armies, the navy, and romantic couples ready to be married. The county has added its own agricultural products, natural resources, industrial goods, and citizens to the flow of traffic on the county's historic waterways and highways. Separated from Baltimore County in 1674, Cecil was a few decades from celebrating its bicentennial when the first itinerant photographer unpacked his equipment at the courthouse and began the process of preserving the county's history through images.
