Hi List, here is what Iam finding out about the Quakers and War which we all know they were Passivists when it came to War. On the Frederick CO VA milita lists and find most of the Quakers there were in the Militia and I find many of them later still listed in the Quaker MMs in Frederick CO VA. I also found out that the Cane Creek, Orange/Chatham CO VA Quakers where some the organizers of the Regulator movement 1768-1774 here in NC. The book Breaking Loose together by Marjoleine Kars 2002 shows this on page 153- These Quakers did not want to more pay taxes for Gov. Tryon's new Mansion . " more than 500 angry Regulators planned to march on Hillsborough and set fire to the town if their demans were not met . By August 11, more than 1,000 Regulators reputedly had gathered at Quaker SIMON DIXON'S mill near Cane Creek, some twenty miles from Hillsborough. The next day Edmond Fanning mustered up 250 men . Tension mounted. HERMAN HUSBAND later denied any violent intentions , but his account indicates that many of the rank and file ( Army/Militia ) were fed up. I know of one Quaker that was one of 4 men hanged at the end of this Regulator movement and he is JAMES PEW - name on a plate in a NC monument and I traced him back to the PA Quaker Pews. My Quaker records on Simon Dixon back to New Castle CO DE and the world get big on connections using these records.
