Did George Fox visit
North Carolina?
Yes, George Fox did visit Quaker settlements in America; in 1672.
The map below shows where he visited, going as far south as what is now North Carolina.
Even before George Fox the English Quaker William Edmundson, who brought Quakerism to Ireland, visited North Carolina. There is a marker in Hertford, North Carolina noting that both Edmundson and Fox visited Quakers in the area.
