There certainly were exceptions since a few Brethren owned slaves, but they
were not the norm, which is why it is a red flag. You need more than a name
and a general vicinity to validate someone is who you think they are. It is
especially difficult validating relations in the 18th century, since records
are scarce, vague and sometimes misleading (like chronic misspelling of
names).

Seems to me that I read a note somewhere that some early Brethren weren't
above hiring some slave labor when needed...but this was not the norm.
Sorry I can't give a reference.
