In 1808 Redstone, Salem, and Short Creek quarterly meetings, originating within the Baltimore Yearly Meeting, requested a new yearly meeting west of the Allegheny Mountains. The Ohio Yearly Meeting "set off" in 1813 included Ohio, Indiana Territory, and adjacent parts of Pennsylvania and Indiana. In 1820, the Ohio Yearly Meeting parented the Indiana Yearly Meeting. Three schisms occurred in the Society of Friends: in 1828 followers of Elias Hicks (Hicksites) separated from the orthodox Friends; in 1854 followers of Joseph John Gurney (Gurneyites) separated from the more conservative followers of John Wilbur; and in 1863 extreme Wilburites following Joshua Maule (Maulites) temporarily separated from the rest, and were readmitted in the mid 1870s.
