An account of the split in the Society of Friends in the early 1800 s. The split refers to the Hicksite-Orthodox split due in part to differential doctrines between the Inner Light before Scripture. Quaker elders in Philadelphia decided to visit each meeting house in order to see if applied doctrinal soundness of all ministers. Owned by Samuel Pennock (1816-1903), abolitionist and leading inventor of agricultural machinery in the United States. Pennock moved to Kennett Square Village and helped it become incorporated as a borough in 1855. One of his residences was on E. Linden Street amongst many of the houses he and his brother built for their foundry employees. He invented the patented Iron Harvester , the first mowing machine in American that was equipped with a cutter-bar that could be raised and lowered without the driver leaving his seat.
