Abstract:
Belvidere, a small town in Perquimans County, has colonial Quaker sites and a modern community of the Society of Friends. It is also one of the oldest Quaker settlements in the state. Early records indicate Quakers were in northeastern North Carolina in the late 1600s. William Edmundson, an Irish Quaker leader, held religious services near Hertford in 1672. Seiling examines Quaker traditions that helped to shape the early Carolina colony.
