During this time period (my ancestor also came over in 1682 to Crosswicks - Dr. Roger Parke - I never have been able to find out what ship he came on- wonder if they were on the same one???) folks were buried on their own land - very few if any were in church yards like they had been in England - there really were no churches and the Quakers had just a meeting house which was essentially a log cabin....so you would need to find out where there land is. I know that my ancestor Dr. Roger Parke who moved up to Hopewell from Crosswicks was buried on his land. However "progress" occurred and the current owner of the land plowed under the graveyard and his stone....something that unfortunately happens all to often. Since Crosswicks is now in the middle of Trenton NJ - a very populated area - I doubt seriously that anything would be left of family graveyards unless you are extremely lucky from this time period and if something is left it will most likely be a small stone with no readable letters. I'm sorry to be discouraging about this but just wanted you to be aware that you are probably looking for a needle in a haystack at best. Susan Avery formerly of Flemington, Hunterdon Co.
