This is the handwritten copy of the account of Joseph Hoag regarding the vision he had in 1803. This is a copy done in the 1840s by Ruth Battey a friend of Hoag and a member of the Quaker Church in New York. Itês six pages and although the pages are very delicate with some fold tears, it is sharp and easy to read. Joseph Hoag (1762-1846) was a New York and Vermont Quaker minister who regarded himself as a traditional Friend, opposing both Elias Hicks and Joseph Gurney. He is best known for his "Vision" of 1803 which predicted an American Civil War, and his Journal, the publication of which in 1860 precipitated a schism at Scipio Monthly Meeting into Otisite and Kingite groups. His wife, Huldah Hoag (1762-1850), was also a Quaker minister, as were many of his ten children. Date: c1840 New York NY hwac 10001
