Message Board Post:
it's almost as though Solomon and Elizabeth were smocking at the shakers by going by
shaker names, after converting to Mormonism and getting married to different women
(because the shakers were celibate). they were probably knowledgeable about them because
of their backgrounds as quakers, and because a shaker settlement wasn't located very
far away. in fact, some people who lived in the west union settlement in knox county,
Indiana probably seceded from the shaker faith and relocated to morgan county, Indiana
where Solomon and Elizabeth lived.
