This listing of burials in Hopewell Quaker Cemetery, Morgan County, Ohio, was sent to me in 1981 by my cousin Alice Dougan of Bolivar, Ohio. She notes that the document is in "Grandfather Jesse's handwriting". She was a great granddaughter of Jesse Dewees whose parents Thomas and Jane Dewees are among those in this list. This is not a reading of gravestones, but a record of burials. Quakers often used unengraved field stones or no stone at all. Not everyone buried here was necessarily a Quaker member. It appears that there were no "family plots". In each row, lowest numbered graves will generally be the earliest, although it is evident a new row was sometimes begun before the previous one was full. This list of burials ends about 1883. It is known there were other burials here later: The names of Persons Buried at Hopewell first row Asenath Griest is first in this row and should be number 1 1 John Stubbs 2 Ruth Patten 3 William Dewees 4 John Dewees 5 Lydia Dewees 6 Sarah Dewees 7 William Wood 8 Moses Metcalf 9 Thomas Dewees 10 Samuel Richardson 11 Wm Walter 12 Rebecca Dewees 13 Jane Dewees 14 Mary Sidwell 15 Hannah Williams Second Row 1 James Embree 2 Rebecca Embree 3 Mary Picket 4 Hannah Embree 5 Thomas Picket 6 Henry Doudna 7 Matilda Embree 8 James Vernon 9 Prudence Williams 10 William Patten 11 Susannah Metcalf 12 Elisha Vernon 13 Elisha Wood 14 Ruben Embree 15 Israel Embree 16 Hannah Embree 17 Caroline Shields Third Row 1 Thomas Mendinghall 2 Jesse Picket 3 William Chandler 4 Henry Yocom 5 Rachel Ratcliff 6 Maria Ratcliff 7 Mary Elizabeth & Eveline Dewees 8 Mahlon Gooding 9 Eliza Chandler 10 Mary Elon Embree 11 Charles Yocom 12 Nathan Yocom 13 Wm E Craft 14 George Chandler 15 James E Vernon 16 Mary Emmaline Yocom 17 and Infant Jos Vernon 18 Annie Picket Fourth Row 1 Hannah Jane Yocom 2 Martha Doudna 3.Margaret McGrew 4 Martha Wood 5 Samuel Ratcliff 6 Sally Bailey 7 Anna Yocom 8 Sarah Ann Ratcliff 9 Phebe Walter 10 Samuel McGrew 11 John Wood 12 Gaynor Parsons 13 Rebecca Tod 14 Alva McGrew Fifth Row 1 Wm Simmeral 2 Mary Llewellyn 3 Jas McGrew 4 Betty Simeral 5 William Llewelyn 6 Mary Wileman 7 William Talbott 8 Benjamin Hough 9 Samuel Yocom 6 Row 1 Wm Simeral (east) 1 Wm Talbott (west) 2 Elizabeth Stubbs 3 Isaac Stubbs 4 Juaian Ball 5 David Ball 6 Julian E Lightfoot 7 Thomas Yocom 8 Rebecca Dewees 9 Joseph Dewees -- Dan Treadway P.
