Does anyone have more on the Keithians? An offshoot of the Quakers?
I have seen where one of my connected ancestors, Thomas RUTTER, professed to that line in early 1700's, and preached around the Phila area! Have not understood their faith! Rather strict, I think?

Sandra said 5/2/2004, in the BIO for John Palmer:

"They were originally Friends, but left the society through the defection of George Keith."

Thanks all for more history on the Keithians!
