About Duck Creek MM

Duck Creek Monthly Meeting was the primary Monthly Meeting of Quakers in southern Delaware in early Colonial times. Several Quaker families had been living in this area from as early as 1680 or before, but they did not have a formal organization. Some had affiliations with Salem MM in New Jersey and others had associations with Philadelphia Monthly Meeting. The Friends at St. Georges (Georges Creek) in southern New Castle County, had contact with Newark Monthly Meeting in Brandywine Hundred and Christiana Hundred in northern Delaware.
