Another group, who are not considered Quakers but are closely related, are the Dunkerts or more formally, Church of the Brethren. Another name for them is German Baptists. They, too, were against slavery. Near the end of the Revolutionary War, a large number of them relocated from Frederick Co., MD, to Frederick Co., VA, now Hampshire, Mineral, and Hardy Counties, WV. A good account of these religious people can be found in _Allegheny Passages_ by Emmert Bittinger. If I remember correctly, the author does address the issue of slavery. Lonny J.
