Thank you to "Ron Gragg" for sharing the above information.
I initially found his records within London Grove MM records.
There is also evidence that he is resting here in New Garden.
Being that headstones were considered "vanity" among early Quakers, there is most likely no stones, or only head/foot stones to mark his final resting place.
