Quakers

 

 

 

Formal records are sketchy, but it seems likely that many residents of Pocopson belonged to the Society of Friends, or Quakers.  There is no evidence of Quaker Meetings within the current township boundaries, but the locals might well have participated in Quarterly or Annual Meetings recorded as having taken place in Birmingham, West Chester, Kennett or Kennett Square, Longwood, Marlborough, Unionville, or Bradford.
