I have recently learned that one of my ancestors lines were Quaker -
PYLE. I am beginning to search Quaker records, etc., but am only vaguely
familiar with Quaker history. Could someone fill me in on the following?

I have seen references to a split in the Quaker church which caused a
census to be taken to sort out who was with which group, and now a
reference to "joined the Quakers about the time they moved to Maryland."

Were there specific points in time when a monthly meeting completely
moved from PA to VA or MD? If so, when and what were the reasons?

Thanks for any information you can provide.
