The only burial-ground in the township prior to 1730 of which traces yet remain is situated on the Swamp road a mile above Cross Keys, in the corner of the tract that Christopher Day bought of Clement Dungan in 1708. In his will, proved March 25, 1748, he gave ten perches square for a graveyard forever. The five stones bearing inscriptions are those of Christopher Day, March 6, 1748; C. Day, 1763; J. Morlen, 1749—50; Abraham Fried, December 21, 1772; William Daves, February 22, 1815.
The graveyard, which once had a stone for Christopher Day, was located at the top of a hill, east of the village of Fauntainville, on the northeast side of Swamp Road (PA Route 313), which is the southern border of Plumstead Township, Bucks County, PA.

"Also my will is that ten perches square of my land bounded Northward by the land of Cephas Child and my other land and and Southward by the same and the Road called the Street containing 100 perches of land be and remain for the use of a burying place for ever and for no other purpose whatsoever"
