William Wood arrived in Burlington county in 1677, his wife Mary Parnell arrived in 1682. Their farm was near Crosswicks and they were of course Quaker. He died in 1722, she in 1740. Can anyone shed light on what cemeteries in the area are the right age and right denomination for my search? Marcia, I just spoke to my friends, the Stevensons, who are staunch members of the Crosswicks Meeting. They lived between the two Meetinghouses ( the Hicksite is on Ward Ave. , a long block away from the one in the center of the village). There is a cemetery for each meetinghouse. The one in the center of the village was started in the 1700s. Regardless of whether you can actually see the grave or not, it is a beautiful site and one that can certainly inspire a person to get in touch with their forebearers. The village itself is like stepping back into the past. To my knowledge I have no Quakers in my background, but my husband's mother was a Haines/Engle and was very Quaker. Researching that lineage led me to sites that put me 'in touch' with her ancestors. If you decide to go to Crosswicks, I may be able to find someone to show you the interior of the Meetinghouse. Let me know the month well in advance. There is a Meetinghouse and cemetery in Mansfield Square, also on Route 206...not far from Crosswicks. Nancy Potts [email protected]
