The Tuckahoe Neck Quaker Meetinghouse was built in 1802. The building was later used by the “Dunkards” as a place of worship and a school.
The Committee for the Preservation of the Tuckahoe Neck Quaker Meetinghouse, an affiliate of the Caroline County Historical Society, has developed a fundraising drive to restore the meetinghouse. It is the last such meetinghouse standing in Caroline County.
Phase One of the restoration in 2019 centered on restoring of the east façade and painting the south façade.

I’m looking into my family genealogy. my 5th great grand father was Joseph Whitby, a Rev War patriot.1750-`1803. I believe he lived near? on Tuckahoe area. His son was Nathan, his son was James M. Whitby buried in Greensboro Cemetery. Other family names are Manship, John Thawley, Webb, Coursey, Fountain, and Sangston.
I am coming to the area in couple of weeks if you think you might have any information for me.
Please correct the spelling to Dunkards.
Done! Thanks for suggesting this.
