Question please?? Why would a committee of Quaker gentlemen be dispatched to remove and destroy all headstones in a cemetery??? Go Seahawks -- Terri in WA

Hi Terri, I suspect that this is an example of someone who didn't understand Quakers, who was trying to make sense of the information they found. During this time Quakers didn't believe in tombstones, someone unfamiliar with this must have assumed that the stones were removed. This is why its important that material be documented, genealogy is full of these incorrect assumptions. Jim Terri <[email protected]> wrote: Question please??

I don't believe Quaker Cemeteries have stones. The one in Woodstown, Salem Co, NJ doesn't have stones.
