Darby Monthly Meeting was established in 1684 by Chester [Concord] Quarterly Meeting out of Chester Monthly Meeting. In 1827, after the Hicksite Separation in Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, the meeting split into Hicksite and Orthodox branches.

Darby Monthly Meeting (Orthodox) removed to Lansdowne in 1831. It was discontinued in 1849 and its members were transferred to Chester Monthly Meeting (Orthodox).

Darby Monthly Meeting (Hicksite), which reunited with Philadelphia Yearly Meeting (Orthodox) in 1955, was the forerunner of the current Darby Monthly Meeting of Friends.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE RECORDS

Records include: minutes since 1684; vital records since 1670; women's minutes; ministers and elders' minutes; financial and property records, etc.

A series of acidic scrapbooks with miscellaneous meeting records, 1682-1919, were disassembled and the contents stored by genre type in acid-free folders. These scrapbooks were filmed, probably in the 1940s, and can be viewed on Reel MR-Ph 150 in Friends Historical Library. Loose records, deposited by the meeting, have been added to these folders and the same are described in the inventory below.

Monthly meeting records normally include minutes of men’s and women’s meetings for business and registers of births, deaths, marriages, removals (transfers), and disownments. In general, non-members are not mentioned in the minutes, even when they attended meeting for worship on a regular basis.

Note to Researchers: These records may only be consulted at either Swarthmore (SW) or Haverford (HV), and are not available through inter-Library loan. To request materials on-site, please make sure to use the correct call numbers for the Library in which you wish to use the records:

Vital Records

At the time of the Separation in Philadelphia Yearly Meeting in 1827-28, pre-Separation vital records were generally retained by the branch with which the recorder was affiliated. Researchers are advised to consider vital records which span this period carefully: in many cases, the meeting without the original records may have reconstructed these records for its membership only, giving the impression that individuals in the other branch were never members.
