The minutes of Gwynedd Monthly Meeting, of which Plymouth Meeting was a member, showed that he was a loyal and active Friend. He was oppointed to attend Quarterly Meeting in 1782; as overseer in Plymouth Meeting, 1782 to 1786; as member of a group to "have care of collecting the accounts of Friends suffering for our testimony against war' and advise and assist in cases of suffering or difficulty, 1782; a member of a new committee in 1783 to have care of the freed negroes; was appointed to distribute where "it may appear to be most useful," a number of treatises in the German language by J.Phips and Mary Brook, forwarded by the "Meeting for Sufferings" in Philadelphia, 1787; and from time to time investigated reports of misconduct on the part of Friends and remonstrated with them, for example, a committee to assist in cases of Friends in Plymouth "who neglect attendance at meeting, and take oath of allegiance and endeavor to convince them the error of the conduct, and inconsistency thereof with our peacable principles."
