Hertford, NC 27944 Phone: (252) 426-7567 Attend a Friends Meeting The first religious service on record in North Carolina was a Quaker meeting held in 1672 by William Edmundson in what is now Hertford, approximately twelve miles from Up River. Later that year, Edmundson was joined by George Fox to hold additional meetings among the settlers of the Albemarle area. Soon the Society of Friends became the dominant religious group in the colony. However, because of their concern over slavery, many Friends migrated to Free states. By the Civil War, the only remaining Friends meeting in the area was Piney Woods, which was established in 1794. Visitors can join one of two active Quaker services on Sunday at 11:00.
