Religion in Ohio was an early and important factor in settlement. The first [[Moravian Church in the United States|'''Moravian''']] mission was established in 1772. [[Presbyterian Church in the United States|'''Presbyterians''']] and [[Society of Friends (Quakers) in the United States|'''Quakers''']] were in the state at an early date, the latter having established forty-three monthly meetings and settlements between 1801 and 1883. The Presbyterians founded seventeen towns between 1784 and 1799. [[Baptist Church in the United States|'''Baptists''']], [[Congregational Church in the United States|'''Congregationalists''']], several reformed groups, [[Lutheran Church in the United States|'''Lutherans''']], [[Disciples of Christ Church in the United States|'''Disciples of Christ''']], [[United Brethren in Christ in the United States|'''United Brethren''']], [[Methodist Church in the United States|'''Methodists''']], and [[Roman Catholic Church in the United States|'''Catholics''']] arrived prior to 1850. By 1890 the latter two denominations were the largest in the state. The Methodist circuit in Ohio was organized in 1798, with circuit riders traveling from log cabins to camp meetings across the territory. In 1831 members of [[Records of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints|'''The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints''']] migrated from New York to Kirtland in Lake County. <ref>Carol L.
