Truitt Family Visits Meeting

I had a won­der­ful time play­ing host for a vis­it by an old Crop­well Meet­ing fam­i­ly that was vis­it­ing the area this week. The Tru­itts were a free Black fam­i­ly in Delaware who joined self-emancipating enslaved peo­ple in that state and on Mary­land’s East­ern Shore to set­tle among South Jer­sey Quak­ers in the ear­ly 1800s. The high­light was def­i­nite­ly 103 year old Mar­garet Adele McGee, who told sto­ries of wor­ship­ing at Crop­well in the 1920s!
