Quaker Burial Ground, South Street, west side.
#78A in Historic Cemeteries of Oyster Bay.

The Quaker or Friend's Burial Ground was established by a deed of gift from Anthony Wright to Alice Crabb, Hannah Wright, Mary (Wright) Andrews and others in 1672. The burial ground was six poles square and on the northeast corner of Anthony Wright's home lot. In the same deed he also gifted a parcel of forty feet square at the southeast part of his home lot as a site for a meeting house. No Quaker graves were marked prior to 1852 and the Oyster Bay Friends Meeting ceased before that date. The burials of Job Wright and Rachel Wright are extracted from notations in the Oyster Bay Town Records.

A map of the property, with the original burial ground location highlighted, has been submitted to FindAGrave and has been awaiting approval for years.
Photo requests cannot be fulfilled, as the graves were unmarked and are now underneath modern development.
