My seventh great grandfather and his wife were buried in a Quaker cemetery: she in 1815 and he in 1828 and neither of them were Quakers, though she is thought to have been earlier, or her parents and brothers, were thought to have been Quakers. In the communities in which they lived, Virginia, Baltimore, and Ohio, their close friends were Quaker. Family lore of old says grandmother and grandfather traveled over the Blue Mountain in Virginia to Washington County, Pennsylvania, then on to Ohio in 1800-1802. In the Washington County Pennsylvania 1800 census, we found them in East Bethlehem Township with the same group of Townsends that had roots in Baltimore, Maryland and in Virginia and later appearing in the Ohio censuses. One land warrant in East Bethlehem is an interesting piece of information because it was patented by one John Townsend, another possible connection to Sarah. I wondered if it might be her father or a brother. My question was always, how could they be buried in a Quaker graveyard when they were not Quakers. This brought me to do a study of a small township in Ohio which might give some insight to my query. I have posted this study (comprises two sites- site 1, the story; site 2, maps with explanations) at these URLs http://sites.google.com/site/twoquakercemeteries/ http://sites.google.com/site/mapsfortwoquakercemeteries/ D.
