		<head id="a2">History of the Meeting</head> 
		<p>Friends of White Creek were granted a Preparative Meeting by Saratoga
		  Monthly Meeting in 1783, though they met as early as 1775. It became a part of
		  Easton Monthly Meeting at its establishment, and then a part of Troy Monthly
		  Meeting when that meeting was set off from Easton in 1813. In 1836 the meeting was
		  transferred back to Easton Monthly Meeting. In 2mo 1856, Easton Monthly Meeting
		  proposed the discontinuance of White Creek Preparative Meeting and midweek
		  meetings. Members were attached to Easton Preparative Meeting.</p>
