The Friends' Cemetery in Farmington is associated with an old Quaker Meeting
House there. The Quakers' "real" name is the Society of Friends.

The Friends' Burying Ground in Jerusalem is where some of the followers of
Jemima Wilkinson were buried; they were the Society of Universal Friends.
Obviously this can cause a lot of confusion, but since there was never a
Quaker congregation in Yates County (though there were a *few* individual
Quakers), we here just say the Friends when we mean the Universal Friends.

<< Elena,

My grandparents and a lot of other family are buried in the Friends
Cemetery
in Farmington. There is also a Great aunt of mine Alice Pardee Anderson.
Any relation to your family?? Please let me know. I just met her
great-grandson.

June (and List):

The Friends' Burying Ground in Yates County is located in Dresden. Is the
Friends Cemetery in Farmington a Quaker cemetery, or is it for followers of
Jemima Wilkinson?

I'm not an Anderson by birth, but by marriage. My ex-husband's family is
from the Chicago area and I know nothing about their background...
