River to find his sister Kate and her husband
George Carmack. Renowned for his
legendary exploits and physical abilities,

Spirit had guided him to the gold. He became
very rich, but remained a generous man who
never forgot his obligations to his community.
The settlement of Quakers in the colony of New Jersey is regarded as an important contribution to a progressive tradition in the state. Then as now, Quakers believed in equality and in granting women a unique role in their communities. Quakers believed the presence of God in everyone and therefore a women was a man’s equal. At that time, the outside community did not recognize the equality of women and, in particular, a woman’s right to speak out in public. Harriet LaFetra actively contributed to the Shrewsbury Monthly Meeting. Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) and in 1857 petitioned for women to have legal equality under New Jersey law. She was the first woman known to have petitioned the state legislature on behalf of women’s rights and woman’s suffrage in New Jersey. Although other petitions had been submitted earlier, Lafetra’s was the first recorded effort. Married in 1844 to Joseph Preston Lafetra and a resident of Shrewsbury, Harriet LaFetra died on April 16, 1906 and was buried next to her husband in the cemetery at the Shrewsbury Friends meetinghouse. 
The Historic American Building Survey Department of the Interior Department Washington D.C. has selected The Quaker Meeting House erected 1816 Shrewsbury New Jersey as being worthy of preservation.
