The Chester Friends Meeting maintained a graveyard for enslaved persons and their descendants above mentioned was on Edgmont Avenue, above Twelfth Street. It was established by the consent of the then-owner of the land, Grace Lloyd. In her will, dated April 6th, 1760, she made the following bequest:

"And it is my mind and will, and I do hereby order and direct that the piece of burying ground being forty feet, fronting Edgmont Road, in said borough, thence seventy feet back and forty feet in breadth, shall at all times hereafter, forever, be used for and as a burying place for negroes, that is to say, for such as shall have belonged to my late husband or myself, and such as do or hereafter may belong to Friends of Chester Meeting, and such as in their life-time desire to be buried there, hut not for any that are executed, or lay violent hands upon themselves, and that none be buried there without the consent of the Overseers of Friends' Meeting at Chester."

The lot thus set apart was surrounded by a tall, thick-set hedge. However, after the execution of several persons at the intersection of Edgmont and Providence roads (the colonial law then requiring the burial of the body of the culprit near the gallows) rendered the locality a place of dread, it was shunned as a place of interment. In time, that the lot had been ever used as a graveyard was forgotten.

In 1868, John and James C. Shedwick erected the row of houses on the east side of Edgmont Avenue, above Twelfth. While excavations for the cellars were being made, a number of human bones were exposed. At that time they were thought to be the remains of Lenape Indians; the fact that it was the site of an old graveyard was largely unknown. But a search of the records eventually revealed its history. It is not known where, and if, the remains were reinterred.

Later, a Baltimore and Ohio Railroad station was erected near the site, and it has since been totally obliterated by construction of Interstate 95.
