Blackwater Monthly Meeting was also called Surry, Burleigh, and Gravelly Run Meeting before 1800. Blackwater Monthly Meeting was held alternately at Blackwater and Burleigh until 1800. The Upper Monthly Meeting was formed in 1800 with the separation of the Burleigh and Gravelly Run Preparative Meetings from Blackwater. Those meetings were held alternately at Burleigh in Prince George County and Gravelly Run in Dinwiddie County. Friends met for worship at Burleigh as early as 1699. It constituted a preparative meeting on its own in 1757. |
