Quaker Burying Ground

Near here was the Meeting House built by the Quakers on four acres of land leased to them by Samuel Wyly on Sept. 6, 1759, for the term of 999 years at a yearly rental of one Pepper Corn, if lawfully demanded. This was their burial ground. The Quakers later leased this land to the Town of Camden for 99 years at a rental of $1.00 a year. In 1874 the Town conveyed its right, title and interest in this and other lands to the Cemetery Association of Camden.

Marker is at the intersection of Campbell Street and Meeting Street, on the right on Campbell Street.
