John Humphrey Noyes

In 1848, John Humphrey Noyes (1811-1886), a former student at the Yale Divinity School , founded the Oneida Community in New York after he was driven out of Vermont following accusations that he had committed adultery.

This is why today they are referred to as the Oneida Perfectionists’ Community. It later broke up in 1881, and the evidence of its once-upon-a-time existence is portrayed by Oneida Limited, a giant silverware company .
