Talk:New Garden, Ohio

Disambiguation Required
The names of Quaker meetings are often confused with place names or geographical locations. There is a village or geographical location known as New Garden, in Hanover Township, Ohio.

There were also Quaker Meetings held in Butler Township, Ohio which were called the New Garden Preparative Meeting and the New Garden Monthly Meeting. These Quaker meetings were geographically located in the village known since 1848 as Winona, Ohio. The New Garden Monthly Meeting included the Quakers who attended the New Garden Preparative Meeting at Winona and those who attended the Sandy Spring Preparative Meeting in Hanover Township (just west of the village of Hanoverton). The visit of the traveling minister Stephen Grellet in 1824 (BTW, Only Evangelical Quakers, who first appeared in the 1870s, used the term 'missionary' to refer to traveling ministers.) to New Garden was a visit to the Friends belonging to the New Garden Monthly Meeting located in the village later known as Winona. Quakers living in Hanover Township might have met at the Sandy Spring meetinghouse just west of the village of Hanoverton. That meeting was part of the New Garden Monthly Meeting.

The auxiliary of The anti-Slavery Society refers to the members of the New Garden Monthly Meeting and not exclusively to the Friends at the village of New Garden, Ohio. The Eagle Pass Golf Course is located near the village of New Garden. So, in all, only the first two sentences and the last sentence of this article are unambiguously true.
