	 <p>Ferrisburgh Monthly Meeting was established as a monthly meeting in 1801
		by Easton Quarterly Meeting. In 1804, the Quarterly Meeting discontinued the
		monthly meeting at Ferrisburgh and replaced it with a monthly meeting to be
		held at Monkton. Eleven years later, in 1815, Monkton Monthly Meeting was
		divided into two monthly meetings, one to be called Ferrisburgh, including the
		members of the preparative meetings at Monkton and Ferrisburgh, and one to be
		named Starksborough, including the members of Starksborough, Lincoln, and
		Montpelier. Ferrisburgh Monthly Meeting was further divided into Hicksite and
		Orthodox branches after the Separation of 1828. Ferrisburgh Monthly Meeting
		(Hicksite) was laid down in 1846 and members were joined to Peru. Ferrisburgh
		Monthly Meeting (Orthodox) circulated between the meeting houses at (North)
		Ferrisburgh, Charlotte, Monkton Ridge, and South Starksboro (also called Creek)
		in the late 19th century. Levinus K. Painter assumed the position of pastor of
		the three small meetings in Ferrisburgh Quarter in 1921; by that time, the
		meeting at North Ferrisburgh had become inactive, but there were meetings at
		Monkton Ridge and South Starksboro. In 1925, Ferrisburgh Monthly Meeting of
		Friends requested permission from Ferrisburgh Quarterly Meeting to establish a
		class of membership known as "Affiliated;" this was to accommodate the members
		of two Methodist churches in Monkton Ridge who had associated with Friends to
		meet together in the meeting house at Monkton; they eventually formed a single
		congregation, known as the Monkton Church at Monkton Ridge and as Friends
		Methodist Church. The name of Ferrisburgh Monthly Meeting was apparently
		changed after 1925 to Monkton Ridge Monthly Meeting. The latter was finally
		laid down in 1996 by Northeastern Regional Meeting.</p>
