Shotwell to repay Hendrickson treasurer appointed by Orthodox Friends but rather wished to pay Stacy Decow who had lately been appointed Treasurer by the Hicksite faction which now held forth in that community. Here the Decision came down in favor of the Orthodox Friends as they were the originators of the loan. A very interesting exposition of the factions and their points of disagreement. Elias Hicks 1748-1830 of Long Island New York was a liberal Quaker preacher whose followers became known as Hicksites one of two factions created by the schism of 1827–28 in American Quakerism. Hicks was an avid abolitionist who further wanted to see a boycott of slave-produced goods inspired the establishment of stores that sold only products produced by free labor. After assisting in ridding the Society of Friends Quakers of slavery Hicks worked for general abolition. "The 'great separation' of 1827-28 began in Philadelphia Yearly Meeting. Approximately two-thirds of members ranged themselves in the group that came to be called “Hicksite” and emphasized the role of the Inward Light in guiding individual faith and conscience while the remaining third eventually known as “Orthodox” espoused a more Protestant emphasis on Biblical authority and the atonement." .
