John Woolman, 1664-1718 was a weaver who arrived in NJ in 1678 from England. In 1687 200 acres are deeded to him in Mt. Holly, NJ. Quakers were slaveowners in the 17th and early 18th centuries. The most noted early Quaker abolitionist was John Woolman (1720-1772) of Mount Holly, NJ, whose journal is definitely worth a read as well as his essay "Some Considerations on the Keeping of Negroes." Among other things, he noted that slaveholding required masters to keep themselves armed against a slave revolt. As Quakers were pacifists, therfore, slaveholding led them to violate their religious beliefs.


John Woolman buried: Lived Ancocus Creek, Burlington Co.
