-The title of the country dance takes its name from Dublin playwright Charles Shadwell's The Fair Quaker of Deal, Irish Hospitality, or, Virtue Rewarded (1720), dedicated to his friends in Kent where he was a one-time supervisor of the excise. It was produced at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, with great success, owing partly to the acting of Miss Santlow as the heroine. Shadwell was himself the younger son of a successful playwright, Thomas Shadwell (1642?-1692). He died in 1726.
