Philadelphia Monthly Meeting for the Southern District was established in 1772 by Philadelphia Quarterly Meeting by a division of the Monthly Meeting of Friends of Philadelphia. Its territory included the north side of Walnut Street and southward, including Moyamensing, Southwark and Passyunk.

This monthly meeting remained with the Orthodox Friends after the Separation, but Spruce Street Monthly Meeting (H) held responsibility for this geographical area.

The Orthodox branch of this monthly meeting was discontinued in 1872; its members were transferred to the Monthly Meeting of Friends of Philadelphia at Arch Street.

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.
