Steven Perkins, Burlington M.M. was the largest monthly meetings on the New Jersey side of the Delaware, and Burlington was one of the four Philadelphia YM meetings included in Hinshaw volume 2. There were both Hicksite and Orthodox branches after the 1827 Separation. Some years ago I visited the Orthodox meetinghouse in Burlington, and I recall that a small corner of the lot had a Friends Burial Ground. The meetinghouse itself became a retreat center for Philadelphia YM in the 1990s after that MM closed. https://www.quakermeetings.com/Plone/meeting_view?anID=1491 The Hicksite branch meets just outside Burlington, NJ in Rancocas (though the MM did not adopt that name until 1959), and the meetinghouse is still used. As I recall, there is a current FBG at the meetinghouse and the old FBG was 0.5 to 1.0 miles west from that intersection down the hill toward Burlington. https://www.quakermeetings.com/Plone/meeting_view?anID=1983 Tom Hill Thomas C.

Hello: My ancestor, Rowland Powell, died in Burlington, NJ in 1727. Is there an extant Quaker Burial ground from that time period? Is the Burlington Meeting house still standing? I'm thinking of driving down to take photos if there is still a meeting house and burial ground. Thanks, Steven -- Steven C. Perkins SCPerkins@gmail.com http://stevencperkins.com/ S.C.
