Quakers travelled to this community in the early 1800s. Not all tagged were necessarily residents of Mt. Pleasant. But most lived in the same county: Jefferson County, Ohio.
The idea here is to draw the whole group together to help find ancestors

In 1804, Plymouth became a Preparative Meeting and joined with Short Creek Preparative Meeting as Short Creek Monthly Meeting. In 1808, Short Creek was separated from Plymouth and joined with West Grove. It was divided during the separation of 1828. The Hicksite branch was laid down in 1922.
