The Quakers, along with everyone else in the American Colonies and England, did not begin using the Gregorian calendar until 1752, even though the Gregorian calendar was adopted in 1582. Under the Julian calendar the year began on March 25th; March was the first month and February was the twelfth month. The table below should be of some help.
| Old Style - Julian (before 1753) |
Quaker Month | New Style - Gregorian (after 1753) |
| March | 1st Month | January |
| April | 2nd Month | February |
| May | 3rd Month | March |
| June | 4th Month | April |
| July | 5th Month | May |
| August | 6th Month | June |
| September | 7th Month | July |
| October | 8th Month | August |
| November | 9th Month | September |
| December | 10th Month | October |
| January | 11th Month | November |
| February | 12th Month | December |
