  • ... that Theophilus Gates started a nudist free-love Christian sect in the mid-19th century near Pottstown, Pennsylvania? Source: "Between 1837 and 1857, a group led by Theophilus Ransom Gates took hold of a few farm families in the Shenkel Valley. The sect never had more than 35 members and they followed the teachings presented in Gates’s pamphlet, The Battle-Axe. The Battle Axes, as the members of the group were known, favored nudity and cohabitation. As such, the name Free Love Valley soon became synonymous with this area of the township. Gates led the group until his death in 1846. He was succeeded by Hannah Williamson, a self-styled prophet.", from Area of North Coventry Got Its Unusual Name from This Rebellious Religious Sect That Lived There.
