Quaker Genealogy in Southwest Ohio

Waynesville, Ohio was a central hub in the Quaker migration west from the states of Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Georgia from 1795 onward. Seeking to escape from slavery, Quaker families settled in the Northwest Territory, in the area of southwest Ohio, establishing meetings like a wheel around Waynesville. Some families settled here and others moved on to Indiana and points further west. Quakers from the Mid-Atlantic States also settled in the area or continued on west.
