    3. The event was indeed a worthwhile experience. For a list of many of the individuals interred at the cemetery and a number of photos of individual headstones, see http://cemeterycensus.com/nc/orng/cem064.htm. The Old Eno Quaker cemetery served the earliest settlers of Hillsborough--one of the earliest and most historic settlements in Piedmont North Carolina. Common names there were Burney, Burnsides, Chambers, Chancey, Cloud, Courtney, Embree, Few, Frasier, Husband, Jackson, Maddock, Miller, Mooney, Neal, Palmer, Pearson, Pugh, Stubbs, Taylor, Thompson, Wiley and Wilkinson. Many of these families came from Hockessin [now Delaware] Meeting, New Garden Meeting [Pennsylvania] and other nearby meetings in southern Chester County, PA.

The event took place just north of Hillsborough, NC in Orange County, NC. It was a wonderful experience for me. John Allen who represented the cemetery committee for The NC Yearly Meeting did a wonderful job of asking speakers for the occasion. He was particularly nice to me and made sure that I was able to see the cemetery after the meeting that was held inside the Mars Hill Baptist Church because the outside meeting was rained out. I have posted a few photos of the cemetery and the marker at http://www.marshamoses.blogspot.com/ I am a relatively new blogger and new to this site, so I don't know how easy it will be to download photos from the site. If anyone has trouble, let me know and I'll send photos to you directly from my computer if you have reason to want a photo or several. I give permission for anyone to use any photo for any reason....only condition is that if you have information to share on anything, you send me a copy of anything that would enhance my research on these families. If you want to see photos better on the site, double click and they will be much easier to read. Carole Troxler spoke about the Regulator Grievances with a particular emphasis on Herman Husband and Charity Wright.....Jeff Bright and Stewart Dunaway spoke about the American Revolution in Orange County, NC.....and John Hunter spoke to us about the damage to the cemetery from Hurricane Fran and the future of the cemetery and then spoke a bit about Quaker organization. I only wish that more of you might have been able to attend. The event was a very special experience. marsha moses
