Statehood for New Hampshire was accompanied by growth in the Merrimac Valley and western side of the state, including Quaker Meetings.
Weare, especially, became a Friends center, with two large meetinghouses in town and another in neighboring Henniker. There was also the Clinton Grove academy.
Much of that growth, however, came from Massachusetts, not Dover, and so it fell outside the focus of my Quaking Dover story. The were even in a different Quarterly Meeting than the one encompassing the communities emanating from Dover.
Just in case anyone was wondering.
