• 1866 Freedmen's Bureau record regarding 75 unnamed Randolph County Quakers abandoning their homes and fleeing to Indiana, the "more quiet west," with at least 125 more to follow. This migration occurred due to the persecution of the entire community by returning rebel soldiers, angered that the young Quaker men had fled into the mountains rather than fight during the US Civil War.
