    3. Here are a few things that truly qualify as bits of Quaker trivia...from F&C.. The Howell James Meeting. In 1709 the "ffriends about ye Iron Hills", near Elk River, were allowed to have a meeting once a month at the house of Howell James. In 1714 it was allowed to be held every First-day, but in 1716, after the death of Howell James, it was discontinued. The Lampeter Meeting, at first called Leacock, was established at Hattill Varman's house, in Leacock, in 1732. In 1749, a new location was found , to which the meeting was removed. The Stanton Meeting, in New Castle Co, Del, was first held at the house of Hannah Lewden, at Christians Bridge, about 1772. The Cambridge Meeting was first held about 1825, but "no particulars have been obtained"
