-
- Does any know where I might find Cemetery Records for a specific
- Quaker Cemetery in North Phil (The Fairhill).

- Graveyard 400' by 500' acquired 1703, retained by meeting 1827, first
- burial 5 May 1843...
-
- Records of burials, 1843-, 2 volumes, in custody of William Cash,
- caretaker's residence on burial grounds.
