Title	Loudenville-New Lisbon Map and Plan of Mount Pleasant Meeting House
Subject	Religion in Ohio Arts and Entertainment Quakers Society of Friends Maps
Place	Loudenville (Ohio) Morrow County (Ohio) New Lisbon (Ohio) Morrow County (Ohio) Mount Pleasant (Ohio) Jefferson County (Ohio) Massillon (Ohio) Stark County (Ohio)
Description	The front of this document features a map of Loudenville and New Lisbon in Morrow County, Ohio. On the reverse of the map are the partial building expenses for the first Quaker Meeting House built at Mount Pleasant in 1814 and finished in 1815. The meeting house was built to accommodate the first Ohio Yearly Meeting, which was attended by two to three thousand Quakers, or members of the Society of Friends. The total cost of construction excluding donated labor was $12,345. The architect and builder of the house was Jacob Ong, who was also a carpenter and cabinetmaker. The walls of the brick structure were two feet thick; the building is two stories high and measures 92 feet in length by 60 feet wide. This document is one page and measures 8" x 12.5" (20.32 cm x 31.75 cm). Thomas Rotch (1767-1823), a Quaker and early settler of Kendal, was active in the abolition movement and conducted slaves to freedom on the Underground Railroad. He also served as a correspondent for the Committee on Indian Concerns. The Rotch-Wales Collection comprises several thousand items, including Quaker and abolitionist materials, household remedies and recipes, weather reports and machinery plans, and personal letters of Thomas and Charity Rotch and their family. It contains personal and business correspondence, diaries, documents, accounts, ledgers, and daybooks. A large portion of the collection consists of the personal and business correspondence, documents, and business papers of Arvine Wales I (1785-1854), who accompanied Rotch from Hartford to Ohio in 1811, worked for him, and carried on Rotch's business interests after his death. The papers of his son, Arvine C. Wales (1827-1882), a lawyer and civic leader in Massillon, are also part of the collection.
