Comments
From Findagrave: The earliest gravestones date from the 1790's. Quakers in the area did not use markers until then. There are graves of Revolutionary War soldiers, an area was set aside for African Americans in the early 19th century, and several graves of Native Americans. Local Quakers used Buchingham Friends until the Solebury Meeting was established in 1810.
