[Partial listing]

The following inscriptions were taken from the cemetery where once
stood, according to the ancient sign, Robin's Meeting House, built 1739,
on County Route 524, Upper Freehold Township.  Beck, in his "More
Forgotten Towns of Southern New Jersey", calls it East Branch Meeting
House and has a photograph of a building he says was built in 1816.  It
may be fair to assume that the one building replaced the other.
