The reference to Kennett Quakers means a member of the Society of Friends
who belonged to the Kennett Monthly Meeting, in Kennett Township, Chester
County, Pennsylvania. It is not a unique sect. My ancestors were also
among that group. I also grew up in that area.

The Society of Friends, otherwise known as Quakers, was begun in England in
the mid-17th century. Some useful sources for more information include the
following web sites. There are also many others.
