Excerpt from Some Account of Camden's Rise and GrowthBefore the settlement of our over-shadowing neighbor of Brotherly Love, a few other scattering Friends, following Wil liam Cooper, began to locate in the neighborhood of his home, and as they had braved the perils of the ocean and of the wilderness, and torn themselves away from all ties of home, kindred and early associations, for the boon of worshipping God uninterruptedly in the way that to them seemed right, they immediately, though but two or three gathered in His name, opened a meeting for His worship, the first record of which is this minute of the Monthly Meeting held at Thomas Gardiner's house, Burlington, Seventh month (september) sth, 1681: Ordered that Friends Of Pyne Poynte have a meet ing on every Fourth-day, and to begin at the second hour, at Richard Arnold's house. Arnold's house stood, as shown on Thomas Sharp's map of A. D. 1700, a short distance above the mouth of Newton creek, and thus, within its log walls, at the very beginning of the settlement, was the first of Camden's ever widening circle of churches established. It was the only meeting between Salem and Burlington, and the third in priority in West Jersey, and has been kept up by Friends without a lapse from that time to the present.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
