Excerpt from Quaker Arrivals at Philadelphia 1682-1750: Being a List of Certificates of Removal, Received at Philadelphia Monthly, Meeting or Friends The following list of certificates Of removal, now printed for the first time, will be of value, it is believed, not only to genealogists but to historians, in the broader sense, interested in investigating the early migratory movement to Penn's Colony. As the metropolis of the new Province on the Delaware, Philadelphia became better known abroad than any other part of Penn sylvania, and a large proportion of the steady stream Of Quaker colonists which poured into the Province made this city its Objective point. Of the nineteen monthly meetings established in Pennsylvania prior to 1750, as the writer's investigation Of the manuscript records has shown, Philadelphia Monthly Meeting easily ranks first as to the number of certificates received.
