Starting in the very late 1700's or early 1800's they started using grave markers (although it was frowned upon to put anything more that a simple stone on a grave). An example of Quaker cemeteries with markers is West Milton, OH. There are many markers from the early 1800's when they first migrated from NC to OH.
