During the Revolutionary War period, houses and property of Quakers were plundered, "chiefly for military requisitions". Twenty Quakers recorded as having "suffered for refusing the test or to contribute for the support of the war". The Blackwater Monthly meeting was more persistent on the tax and test issue than others and consequently suffered more. The monthly meeting books describe this as a " time of calamity and close trial". Examples are: April 4,1806, Exum Bailey reported taken from him by William Harrison, one hat and a gun under the militia law. April 4, 1780, Chappell and Peter Binford reported taken from them, 1 mare, 3 barrels of corn, 1 bed and some furniture for refusal to take "the test" and contribute to the support of the war. April 4,1806, Joseph Sebrell reported taken from him by William Harrison, two wool hats under militia law. In the late 1700s and early 1800s many friends from Blackwater moved into North Carolina and eastern Ohio. In 1770, Pattison, who formed the particular meeting in Amelia, was abandoned as all of the members has migrated with the exception of the William Bott and William Reams families. The Ladd, Sadler, Ward and Durham families formed new congregations in Mecklenburg and Brunswick Counties.
