Westfield
Westfield was founded on May 6, 1834 by Asa Bales, Ambrose Osborne, Simon Moon and Simon Barker all Quakers from North Carolina. It is believed that the town was planned as a stop on the Underground Railroad with many families of the Quaker and Wesleyan Methodist churches supporting the cause. When the laws against aiding escaped slaves were harshened, part of the Westfield Quakers split into the Anti-Slavery Friends meeting.
