1711. — " The Quarterly Meeting of Chester declare their dissatisfaction with Friends buying and encouraging the bring- ing in of negroes, and desires the care of this meeting concern- ing it. . . . Advised, that Friends may be careful, according to a former minute of this meeting (1696), not to encourage the bringing in any more ; and that all merchants and factors write to their correspondents to discourage them from sending any more." — (Yearly Meeting.) 1712. — "And now, dear Friends, we im...part unto you a concern that hath rested on the minds of some of our brethren for many years, touching the importing and having negro slaves, and detaining them and their posterity as such, without any limitation or time of redemption from that condition. This matter was laid before this meeting many years ago, and the thing in some degree discouraged, as may appear by a minute of our Yearly Meeting, 1696 ; . . . . yet, notwithstanding, as our settlement increased, so other traders flocked in among us, over whom we had no Gospel authority ; and such have in- creased and multiplied negroes among us, to the grief of divers Friends, whom we are willing to ease, if the way might open clear to the satisfaction of the general.
