Please note: Priscilla Coffin Place is my great-grandmother (eight generations back). I searched several Quaker genealogy records along with the Earlham College library, and I am certain of all of the material above, except the exact cemetery location (very likely it is here at New Garden, close to where she lived).
A member of the Coffin family had a reunion in around 1998. The church pastor and others noted that the older Coffins Levi Sr. and Prudence were buried here, however, there was a terrible flood on the creek running behind it and many graves and stones are now washed away. Many Quakers were also buried in unmarked graves.
