There were three Hicksite monthly meetings in Iowa at this time:
Prairie Grove in Henry Co., Wapsinonoc in Muscatine Co., and Marietta
in Marshall Co. None is close to Winnebago Co--Marietta is closest.
By the late nineteenth century, all of the Hicksite yearly meetings
reported significant numbers of nonresident members scattered around
the US. The Boyces may well have left their membership back in New
York.
