Abstract:

Friends at Warrington and Newberry meetings asked to be set off from Sadsbury Monthly Meeting in 1747. The meeting became known as Warrington Monthly Meeting. Due to westward migration, Warrington Monthly Meeting was laid down in 1861, and its members joined to Menallen Monthly Meeting. After the Separation of 1828, the few Friends who sided with the Orthodox came under the care of Baltimore Monthly Meeting (Orthodox). In 1893, an Orthodox preparative meeting was formed in Adams County called Bendersville.

In 1945, a group of Friends in Warrington expressed an interest in beginning a meeting at the same meeting house that was used in the 1700s. A second Warrington Monthly Meeting was established in 1947. The earlier Warrington Monthly Meeting's records are described separately.

Records of the second Warrington Monthly Meeting, 1945-. Includes minutes 1947-2017, assorted member-related files 1947-2017, treasurer's reports, and records of the Warrington Friends Cemetery (which continued prior to the second Monthly Meeting being established at Warrington in 1947), and newsletters. Miscellaneous records include a file from the 1980s giving an example of the Meeting Clerk and Overseers eldering a member and his family, apportionment responses to BYM, and state of the meeting reports.

Divided into series: 1.Minutes; 2.Vital records; 3.Miscellaneous.
