The name attributed to a group of married women or wives is know as a 'circle': This reference came about because in their gathering in 'coffee klatches', conversations, quilting parties the Colonial periood wives were often seen sitting in a loose circle of seating arrangements. This evolved from pioneer days when the wagonmaster in a 'westward-bound' emmigrant party would require the Conestoga wagons to be 'circled' for the night:

This configuration allowed that the cook-fire or campfire could be easily readied within the circle of wagons which was in addition a in a defensive, protective arrangfement to ward off the violent winds, raiding Indian war parties. The ' circling' provided much in the manner of easy conversation amongst the wives of the Westward-bound emmigrants
