The Westfield Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, better known in this area as "Old Westfield", is the oldest church in Surry or Stokes County and probably the oldest religious group in Northwest North Carolina this side of the Moravian settlements of what is now Winston Salem. The Meeting dates back to the 1760's when pioneer Quakers from New Garden (now Guilford College) crossed Quaker Gap of the Sauratown mountains to plant a new community in the valleys of Big Creek and Tom's Creek.
Early Quakers began holding meetings at Westfield by 1772 under the care of New Garden Quarterly Meeting and continued until the monthly meeting was established in 1786....
New Garden regarded the work as a mission project and since it was located west of New Garden it was referred to as, "The Western Field." Thus comes the name, "Westfield

From RACHEL WILLIAMS ADAMSON AND HER HOOSIER CLAN:
Isaac Williams came to Cane Creek from Loudown Co VA and married Rachel Pike. Some of their children born in Orange Co NC. Before the Revolution the family moved to the Yadkin Valley, Surry Co, where Rachel was born in 1776 and Isaac Jr in 1779.
In 1792 the family moved to Jefferson Co SW Territory. Certificate of removal 21 Apr names children Margaret, Rachel, Isaac, Richard & Abel. [Ruth probably already married.] Rachel had died in 1789 at the birth of twins.
Adamson followed the general trend - Cane Creek, Deep River, New Hope, and Lost Creek.

An Isaac Williams died in Jefferson Co.circa 1828. It isn't Isaac Jr who died much later. The Pike Family History book gives a year of 1824 for the death of Isaac but that agrees with neither and he was deceased by June of 1824 when his will was proved.
