Choptank Friends Meeting

The meeting at Choptank was established about 1670 and was first held in the home of Howell Powell. It was part of the Third Haven group. The meeting had served as the base for a Quarterly meeting prior to the building of the great meetinghouse at Third Haven, but by 1834, it was no longer meeting at all. There was also a burial ground for the meeting, but no sign of either a meetinghouse or a grave yard remain. The most likely spot for the original meeting is the vicinity of Howell's Point as that was named for Howell Powell.
