1. NEW YORK MONTHLY MEETING.
HISTORIC ITEMS.
The first record found is under date Eighth month, 12th, 1681, of arrangement for First-day meetings in New York City at the house of Robert Story and
3

NEW YORK QUARTERLY MEETING,
for meetings on Fifth day at that of Lewis Morris. In 168! the meetings were to alternate between Graves- end and New York. In 1683 "Friends thought it con- venient to keep the house that the meeting was in at New York another year." In 1634 Patience Story's house was its gathering place. In 1696 a permanent site was selected, John Rodman offering ground free for this purpose and Friends of Flushing contributing liberally to the expense of erecting a building. Isaac Norris, of Philadelphia, advanced money for the com- pletion of a suitable house, but a burden of indebted- ness on the account rested upon the New York mem- bership for twenty years.
From an old memorandum the following facts are taken :
"The first meeting. house in New York is supposed to have been erected about the close of the seventeenth century on Little Green Street, near Maiden Lane. About 1750 another house was built on Pearl Street, near Franklin Square. Near the close of the eighteenth cen- tury the house on Little Green Street was replaced by a larger one on the same site fronting on Liberty Street. About the year 1819 a house for worship was erected on Hester Street, and that on Pearl Street gave place to stores and dwellings. In 1824 another was built on Rose Street and that on Liberty Street demolished. At the time of the separation in 1828 the Hicksites retained possession of both houses then in use. The Orthodox occupied a building erected for their accommodation in Henry Street, near Market Street, until 1841, when they built a commodious house in Orchard Street, near Hester Street."

NEW YORK QUARTERLY MEETING.
In 1859 the Orchard Street house was sold, and on First day, Twelfth month, 18th, 1859, Friends held their meeting for the first time at Twentieth Street house. It was built on lots purchased from David Sands. This meeting-house is still in use. It is No. 144 East Twentieth Street, opposite Gramercy Park.
In this same year, 1859, several families of Friends having removed to Brooklyn, they opened a meeting there. This was first held at Packer Institute, near City Hall, in Eleventh month, 1860. As the life, interest, and attendance of this gathering increased it was de cided to build a meeting house. This was completed in 1868, and Brooklyn Preparative Meeting was estab- lished Fifth month, 20th, 1869.
The house stands at the corner of Washington and Lafayette Avenues, Brooklyn, near Elevated Road sta- tion at Grand and De Kalb Avenues, and one block from De Kalb Avenue surface cars, twenty minutes' ride from Brooklyn Bridge.
New York Monthly Meeting is held at Twentieth Street, New York, on the first Fourth day of each month, at 3:30 P.M.

Meeting was held here from 1777 to 1794. At the time of the separation the original meeting-house passed into the hands of the Hicksites and the present smaller house was built for the use of the little company who re- mained. The Quarterly Meeting was held once a year at Westbury until Tenth month, 1883, from which time it was deemed expedient to hold it alternately in New York and Brooklyn, so it was taken away.

PURCHASE
QUARTERLY MEETING. 1745-1896.

PURCHASE QUARTERLY MEETING.
In 1695 John Harrison and other Friends of Flushing united in buying of the Indians a tract of land in the southern part of the district now included in West- chester County. This tract, bounded on the north by the Rye Ponds, east by Blind Brook, west by Mamaro- neck River, and south by lands of Joseph Budd, was called the Purchase, and it is so known to this day. The family of John Clapp emigrated thither in 1705, and others soon followed.
A Monthly Meeting was established and held at West- chester, Fourth month, 9th, 1725. Friends were active and earnest, and the accessions to membership were considerable.
A house was probably built at Mamaroneck in 1708, and this was made a Preparative Meeting in 1728. A second house was built here in 1739 and removed to a central location in 1770.
The Purchase meeting-house was built in 1727 upon land given by Anthony Field. It was enlarged in 1797.
On Third month, 13th, 1742, the Monthly Meeting was held for the first time "at the meeting.house at the Purchase in Rye Woods."
In 1744 we find these Friends applying "for to have a Quarterly Meeting " on the mainland. The Yearly Meeting acceded to their request, and the following Minute records its opening :
46
PURCHASE QUARTERLY MEETING.
"On the 3d of the Sixth month, 1745, was held a Quarterly Meeting at the meeting-house at the Pur- chase, agreeable to and by the appointment of the Yearly Meeting held at Flushing in the Third month last."
In 1749 it was decided to hold the Quarterly Meeting part of the time at the Oblong.
John Harrison seems to have imparted some of his own large-heartedness to the Friends who shared in the ownership of the Purchase, for in these early records we find their meetings constantly throwing out new shoots, enlarging their borders, planting and nourish- ing new meetings.
James Wood says : "Each Quaker home as it was settled became a resting place for those who followed, for it was a cardinal principle of Quaker hospitality to keep open house for all fellow-members under all circumstances."
LOCATION OF MEETING-HOUSES.
The present meeting. house at Mamaroneck is in the southern part of Westchester County, a little more than two miles southwest of Mamaroneck station on the New York & New Haven Railroad, thirty-five minutes' ride from Grand Central Depot, 42d Street, New York.
