Quakers in the Niagara Peninsula

Question

There's a Friends Cemetery in Ridgeway, Ontario. It's not very big, and many of the stones are either unreadable or buried, but I did manage to read one and trace out a small family tree, but it stubbornly refuses to connect to the main tree. Can anybody from the Quakers Project help out?

Comments

Add a cemetery tag as well please!

Answer 1

Find-A-Grave lists 6 discernible graves in that yard, although it looks as though one was entered twice. Here's the link: https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gsr&GScid=2331305

I do not have the time at the present moment to check my own tree (Quakers just hanging off the branches, everywhere!), but, although my family were there in that area, none of the names ring a bell.

Yes, that one entry is a duplicate. The person who added it is deceased, according to the Find A Grave site. I have no idea how to transfer the management of those records to somebody else to merge them.

Answer 2

OCFA (http://ocfa.islandnet.com/ocfa-search.php) has 24 listings for The Friends Burial Ground (Bertie Twp, Welland Co), but it doesn't show how each is related or which names come from the same stone, etc.

The names are:

1. Cutler, Charlotte H. (Williams)
2. Cutler, John
3. Cutler, Joseph
4. Cutler, Launcelot
5. Cutler, Nathan
6. Harrett, Azaliah
7. Harrett, Mary
8. Learn, Andrew
9. Learn, Elizabeth
10. Learn, George
11. Learn, Jesse
12. Learn, Rebecca
13. Learn, Sarah
14. Ott, Catherine (w/o Henry Zavitz)
15. Pound, Ester Jane
16. Pound, Mary Jane
17. Pound, Samuel
18. Schooley, Edward W.
19. Tuttle, Jeremiah
20. Tuttle, L.
21. Tuttle, M.
22. Tuttle, William
23. Zavitz, Catherine (Ott)
24. Zavitz, Henry (h/o Catherine Ott)

I recognise some of those names from stones we photographed. Others must have been recorded while the stones were still readable. We'll be putting up more profiles as we decipher the stones and source the people.

Yes the transcriptions were done in the 90's...! Just a couple years ago, right??

I don't know if any of these may be useful but I'll put them here anyway.
