It's nice to see my old Quaker post from last year revived.
I haven't had time to do any serious research, but have learned that four generations of my Vail ancestors were Quakers (starting about 1700 and ending about 1800). Quakerism was abandoned by ancestor William Vail (1772-1842) and he was officially expelled from the Society of Friends when he was still a young man.
I've read online that there are groups that are specifically devoted to Quaker history. Anybody at CWT know of any of these that might be helpful to me in running down Quaker activities in Westchester County, NY during this period?
