Where is Mineholes Church Graveyard in Chester County, Pennsylvania

Question

I found an obituary that spoke about my 6th great grandfather John Hunter. Quoting from obituary, "John Hunter, who is buried at Mineholes church graveyard, in Chester county.  He was a prominent Mason, and a monument erected by the Masonic fraternity, marks his grave."  John was born before 1750 and died before 1817

Answer 1

Hello Robin!

It would be helpful to know what time period John lived in. The county borders in Pennsylvania evolved over time, and the modern-day location may be in a different county.

Also, it may be that the cemetery has a different name today.

A bit more information could help solve this one...thanks!

Edited Question, but all information is in profile of John Hunter.  Obituary is dated 1889.  Google search turned up nothing.

Answer 2

Maybe a clue.

In Hopewell Village: A Social and Economic History of an Iron-Making Community (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: University of Pennsylvania Press; 2016), at page 366, Joseph Walker talks about services being held at "Hopewell Mineholes."
