Research Note

• Wally Evans made a FAG memorial for Thomas at Evesham (Mount Laurel) with a Hindshaw Index Card posted. (Find link to it.) The card is not entirely clear about where Thomas is buried. It reads, "Buried Company Gr. Ev." His son, Amos is listed as buried at FGEv. My question is, "Is Thomas buried at Copany or at Evesham? Carrie

He is not listed on the 1926 inventory of Copany.

Burial: Evesham Friends Cemetery Mount Laurel Burlington County New Jersey, USA
