I don't know if they invented the name, but it was a family name in the huge network of Quaker Frys, Gurneys,Barclays etc whose family home was Northrepps in East Anglia The children's writer Rachel Anderson, daughter of Verily Anderson, is a descendant of that network. i don't think that she's Quaker herself - could be wrong - but her Quaker background sows in her wonderful books for children that deal with war refugees and learning difficulties. She has an adopted son who is a Vietnamese survivor and also has learning difficulties.
