Harrogate Lane is now Atlantic St. Frankford Ave. to Venango St. north of Tioga in Kensington. I don't know about a Bethesda Row. "The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind."

Jane, Is the cemetery name possibly Monument? If so, it was founded in 1837 on N. Broad St, across from Temple University. When Temple needed more parking, the bodies were removed to another cemetery and buried in a mass grave. Found this on the internet at Rest in Peace: Philadelphia's Lost Cemeteries.

Obituary “Germantown Independent Gazette”, January 1926: HER ANCESTRY WAS LINKED WITH THE NATION’S HISTORY Mrs. Louise Beale Culver, or Germantown, widow of the late Mason Culver, died at Manasquan, N. J., Wednesday, January 18, after a prolonged illness. She had gone to Manasquan to regain her health. Mrs. Culver survived her husband four years. Her son and daughter died a number of years ago. She was a great great grandniece of Betsy Ross and was one of the seven deponents mentioned in Lloyd Balderston’s book, “The Evolution of the American Flag,” she having made affidavit that she heard her great aunt, Margaret Donaldson Boggs, relate the history of the making of the flag. Mrs. Boggs was for many years associated in the upholstery business with her aunt Elizabeth Griscom Claypoole, the Betsy Ross of history. Mrs. Culver was the eldest daughter of the late Dr. Stephen Thomas Beale, of Germantown, a prominent dentist, and one of the founders of the first dental college in this country. On her paternal side her grandfather was one of Wellington’s soldiers. On her maternal side she came from Colonial and Revolutionary stock and was descended from Andrew Griscom, who came from Yorkshire, England, in 1682, and was one of the first purchasers of land from William Penn, being known in history as the builder of the first brick house in Philadelphia. Samuel Griscom, another ancestor, was a carpenter and assisted in the erection of Independence Hall. Most of the wood work in it was done by him. Her Revolutionary ancestor includes Captain William Donaldson. His brother, Arthur Donaldson, in 1776, laid the chevaux de frize in the Delaware River to prevent the British from coming up the river to Philadelphia. Another ancestor was Corporal Mark McCord, a soldier in the Revolution who was wounded in the battle of Germantown and furloughed by General Washington at Trenton and who died in Harrisburg from his wounds. Funeral services were held Saturday from the residence of her nephew, Dr. Rupert G. Beale, 72 West Tulpehocken street, interment at Leverington Cemetery, Roxborough.

Hi Jo-Ann - Usually, but not always, the abbreviations you list below stand for the following: CR = center or corner grave in the plot N = North side of the plot from the center S = South side of the plot from the center You may also run into Cor which is usually the corner grave of the plot. The 10 could mean the 10th grave in the plot but that would depend on how many graves are contained within the plot. Of course these are just what I have been exposed to in my research and may not be totally accurate in every cemetery. Hope this helps!
