She was actually buried at "Friends Burial Ground" in Marsden, England.
∼Isabel's maiden name has been sought for over two hundred years. Marilyn London Winton Totten has spent forty years searching in Lancashire and the Lancashire Archives records. The erroneous information was put forth that she was a Radcliffe, but this has been disproven. An Isabel Radcliffe married in fact, an Abraham Haworth (proof in the Quaker records of Lancashire). Research in ongoing. Isabel was married to James Haworth about 1659-1660. She must have been born about 1635, as the average age for women to marry in that time and place was 25. However, this was just at the end of the English Civil War, and many parish records are missing for that period, including some relevant parishes in Rossendale. It is also possible they were married in a Quaker ceremony before many witnesses; but such marriages were not recognized as "official" by the Church of England, or the civil authorities at that time. Isabel raised her children as members of the Society of Friends, although there is no evidence that her husband was of that belief. He was buried in a Church of England burial ground at Newchurch-in-Rossendale, but Isabel was buried at the Friends Burial Ground on a hill above Crawshawbooth village, in Rossendale. Her death and burial are a matter of record, in the burial roster of Marsden Monthly Meeting. She married John Ormerod after nine years of widowhood, at Burnley, in 1687. After his death she lived with her elder son James Haworth, at Hapton Hall Farm on the northern edge of Rossendale.
