| Notes |
Joshua Shreve was an approved and esteemed minister of the Society of Friends, traveling on horseback in the ministry as far south as Virginia, and as far north as Massachusetts, holding and attending meetings on his way there and on his return. He lived in Springfield Township, Burlington Co., N. J., adjoining Richard Stockton. He gave to the Society of Friends four acres of land from his farm, on which to erect a meeting house, and for a graveyard. This was built in 1727, and that date is still to be seen in the brick work over the door. It is located about one-half mile from Wrightstown, and is known as Upper Springfield Meeting. previous to its erection Friends in the neighborhood attende meeting at Crosswicks. May 6th, 1749, Chesterfield Meeting granted him a certificate "to make a religious visit in the goverment of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia." April 7th, 1750, he produced a certificate from Fairfax, Va., which was "to satisfaction." (Chesterfield Monthly Meeting Records.) his children were born in Springfield Township. (Reference: L. P.
