The Quaker influence on government in East…
March 1682 CE
The Quaker influence on government in East Jersey is not significant.
Although a number of the East Jersey proprietors in England are Quakers and the governor through most of the 1680s is to be the leading Quaker Robert Barclay, even the immigration instigated by Barclay is oriented toward promoting Scottish influence more than Quaker influence.
Barclay and the other Scottish proprietors in 1682 begin the development of Perth Amboy as the capital of the province.
