List of tombstones in Old Jordantown Cemetery near Auburn, NJ made or 
copied by the First President of the Salem County Historical Society, 
William Patterson in 1887. Forty –five names of tombstones in all. 
There were almost positively many since 1664 and especially when it 
became a Meeting House Burying Ground in 1740.
 
Patterson’s list in 1887 seemed to jump around from plot to plot, or 
just taken as he found them. Kigers were listed first, and they are 
rather in the middle. 

I have rearranged alphabetically but think I want to do a plot map 
and also include the newer stones, of which there are a few into the 
1920s. The pages I have typed and copied are signed by A. B. England, 
who I think would have been Aquilla England, lay Methodist minister 
and grandfather I believe to Peg Kragler, a neighbor of mine.:
