Did the Quakers settle in Oregon in 1682?

Answer 1

No, it's not likely. The Oregon Encyclopedia puts them in that state much later. In fact, several sources say that Quakers did not arrive in Oregon until the 1870s. This does not mean that one or two Quakers may have come to Oregon sooner, but the denomination itself did not officially establish houses of worship in Oregon till the 1870s; the first Quaker meeting house was established in 1878, and membership grew till there were about 1,700 Quakers and nine churches throughout Oregon by the early 1890s.

Answer 2

Pennsylvania was the state they settled in rather than Oregon. West of the Mississippi was not settled until post 1800 and Jefferson's the Louisiana Purchase.

Answer 3

No they began to settle in Pennsylvania.
