Stephen Day attended the Newgarden and Warrington MMs in Chester Co., PA and was part of an early group of Quakers who migrated south from Chester Co., PA to North Carolina between 1750 and 1770. During this time, Quaker in Pennsylvania were hungry for new lands, and losing thier influence on the coast due to a large influx of people from other faiths, they decided to move south and west to the mountain valleys of NC. They went under the leadeship of Capt. Joseph Maddock (b. Haddonfield, NJ) but moved to Warrington/Newark, Chester Co., PA. he and a group of early Quakers, Stephen Day possibly among them, established the Cane Creek Quaker Meeting in 1751 in Orange Co., (now Alamance Co., NC).
