Ann's message via Judy is of great interest to me....I hope to be able to attend. I made a very quick look at a couple of websites to get a feeling for the Eno MM....here are some of the names associated: While we are discussing North Carolina Quaker cemeteries... Can anyone speak to the current ownership of the "Old Eno Burial Ground" north of Hillsborough, Orange County, North Carolina as well as the current ownership of the access to the cemetery? The cemetery and an adjacent school house were in use by the Quakers who were among the earliest settlers of Hillsborough, one of the oldest inland settlements in the state. A survey and evaluation of the cemetery was made a few years ago by a committee of the nearby Chapel Hill Friends Meeting (see http://cemeterycensus.com/nc/orng/cem064.htm). The original Quakers are said to have largely left the area at about the time of the Regulator Rebellion (James Few was one of the Quaker family members hung as a Regulator, and many Quakers subsequently moved on to Georgia to avoid the hostilities), and the minutes of the early meeting in Hillsborough were lost. However, the grave markers indicate burials well into the 1800s. Surnames would include Burnside/Burnsides, Cates, Chambers, Comb, Cole, Dixon, Ellis, Faucette/Fosset, Few, Freeland, Irvyd/Ervin, Jackson, Jordan, Miller, Marris/Maris, McCracken, Miller, Palmer, Parish, Thompson, Wilkinson, Wood & Woodward. I know some of these families to have come from New Garden Meeting in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Jeff Palmer - jap@highstream.net What I am interested in is if any of these families listed in the above moved to Newberry rather than to Wrightsboro? I know that Nehemiah and Abigail Thomas were among the couples who moved from Orange County, NC to Newberry---probably just before the regulator movement. I descend from Abigail's niece Sarah Moore McKinsey who lived very close to our Bush River MM cemetery. Anyone on the list recognize any of these families? marsha moses > > Dedication Ceremony > > Memorial Marker at the site of Eno Quaker Meeting And burial ground > >
