Quakers in Colonial Maryland

Finding the records to document Qauker activities and meetings in Maryland in the colonial can be a bit of a challenge - many of the very early meetings also disappeared early, leaving very little in the way of records. Many of these early meetings only ever met in the homes of their members and many never had either meeting houses or burial grounds, offering few clues to the modern researcher of their history. In many cases, the only clue to their existence may lie in the records of their superior meetings.
