This Quaker Burial Ground contains the grave of Henry Reeves (June 27, 1749 - November 23, 1840), whose grave is marked by the Daughters of the American Revolution. Reeves was not a soldier, but he is considered a Revolutionary War Patriot by the Daughters of the American Revolution because he signed an oath of allegiance during the Revolutionary War. [2] By signing the oath, Reeves was affirming that he did not hold himself "bound to bear Allegiance to the King of Great Britain" and would "bear true Faith and Allegiance to the Government established in this State, under the Authority of the People." [3]
