Blue Rock PM was held in Blue Rock Township, Muskingum County, Ohio. The meeting for worship was founded in 1820 as Meigs Creek Meeting under Stillwater MM, following a visit by a Stillwater committee that included Hugh Judge. It is thought that a meeting house was built in 1821. The meeting's name was changed to Blue Rock when the PM was granted in 1826.
Blue Rock PM, always a small meeting, was transferred to Deerfield MM in 1827. Blue Rock Friends attended Deerfield MM on 7/21/1827 to discuss the situation. Stillwater MM and Stillwater QM agreed on the change, and Blue Rock PM was officially attached to Deerfield MM on 12/15/1827.
Contact with Deerfield Friends actually undermined the meeting, as most Blue Rock Friends moved south to be closer to the main body of Deerfield MM. The PM was laid down in 1830 and the meeting for worship in 1831. |
