Person:Joseph Shotwell (6)

From http://www.plainfieldquakers.org/woodbrig.htm : "Another weekly meeting, productive of like good results, was permitted by the Woodbridge monthly meeting to be held at the house of Joseph Shotwell, in Rahway, on the 16th of October, 1742. It was designed to continue for three months, through the coldest weather only, "on ye first Days of the weak." In August (17th), 1744, the Rahway Friends asked to hold their meetings twice a week (on the first and fourth days) at Joseph Shotwell's, from August to the middle of February, which was granted."
