When were the Christadelphians established?

The origins of the modern Christadelphian movement can be traced back to an English doctor, Dr. John Thomas who emigrated to America in 1832. Circumstances led him away from medicine and towards the Bible, upon which he lectured and wrote extensively for the last thirty years of his life.  Congregations holding Christadelphian views began to form around 1840.

Notes:

Although we give Dr. Thomas much of the credit for outlining a coherent exposition of Biblical truth, Christadelphians do not treat his writings as in any way inspired or especially authoritative (Thomas's books are not a Christadelphian equivalent to "Science and Health" or "The Great Controversy". The authority for our faith and beliefs comes entirely from the inspired word of God (both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible):
"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." (1 Tim 3:16).
