During the battle of Red Bank at Fort Mercer in 1777, the Friends Meeting House was used as a hospital by the Hessians.

In the mid-1800s, the banks of Woodbury Creek overflowed, taking with it some of the markers and bodies from an earlier cemetery. In 1951, twenty-one people buried in the older cemetery were reinterred in the Friends Burial Ground. A monument marks their re-interment.
