Notes	Moses Sheppard (1771-1857) was a member of the Religious Society of Friends, and at the time of this correspondence was living in Baltimore. Sheppard was deeply concerned with the issues of American and Caribbean slavery, and for many years was principally involved in the Maryland Colonization Society. His involvement waned later in life as he became disillusioned with developments in the Anti-Slavery movement, particularly what he perceived as extremism in the North. Thomas Ellicott and Joshua Dungan were both Pennsylvania Friends; Benjamin F. Taylor of Virginia was a birthright Quaker who appears to have disavowed official membership with the Society.
