1 St. Mary's Churchyard The ground upon which the Old Church sits was purchased by John Tatham, Edward Hunloke, Nathaniel Westland and others "for the Conveniency of a burying place for themselves and also for all other Christian people" in July This land was supplemented by additional purchases and bequests in The earliest known headstones date from 1706 and 1707, respectively marking the graves of Mary and Edman Steward.

W. Doane, William H. Odenheimer, Wallace John Gardner and Alfred Lothian Banyard). A few distinguished parishioners, such as Colonel Daniel Coxe, and the first rector, John Talbot, were accorded the ancient honor of being buried within Old St. Mary s Church. The burying ground was expanded several more times in the 19 th and 20 th centuries. Edman and Mary Steward The earliest legible gravestones belong to Edman Steward and his daughter Mary Steward, dated 1707 and 1706 respectively. The stones are excellent examples of early 18th century styling preferences. The arched stones depict two columns or pilasters and an hourglass, reminding us of the shortness of life. 1 / 10
