Kenneth L. Carroll's article "An Eighteenth-Century Episcopalian Attack on
Quaker and Methodist Manumission of Slaves," Maryland Historical Magazine 80
(1985): 139-150

of course focuses on Maryland, but is well worth a look (not least for its
retelling of the purported second coming of Christ on the eastern shore of
Maryland).  Carroll has also written several monographs on the history of
Quakerism, but I am less familiar with their content.
