This is a record of the names of the
persons buried in the Old Lower Marsh Creek Cemetery and the
location of their last resting place within this historical
burial ground. We believe that this listing will be of personal
interest to the countless descendants and friends of more than
600 persons laid to rest in this "Hallowed Ground" dating from
the beginning of the 18th Century.
Many
inquiries and requests for information have been received from
descendants and friends in many parts of the United States, who wish
to know the location of their ancestors' graves, and also desire to
provide continuous care for their last restings places. By dividing
the cemetery into size areas on paper, listing as A to F inclusive
which are almost equal in size and shape, and by listing the graves
in each area by number according to their location in the area, it
should now be a relatively easy task to find any grave for which the
name is known
Unfortunately a few graves have no
names or are unmarked. during the depression of the 1930's some work
was done by the Federal Government in this cemetery, when a few
markers such as footstones were removed probably because they had
fallen over or were pulled out of the ground and it was impossible
to replace them in their proper location. This, however, does not
affect the basic purpose of providing a helpful means of locating a
particular grave or graves whose position may be desired by
descendants and friends. |
