There is no marker (Quakers of that time period didn't use them), but she is recorded in a partial listing of graves at Friends Cemetery, Tuckerton, in Leah Blackman's 'History of Little Egg Harbor,' from 1880, pages 206-208.
"Thomas Ridgway, b. 14 Jan 1701 (son of Thomas and Anne), married in the year 1723, Mary, b. 14 Jan 1704 (daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth Ong). Thomas and Mary (Ong) Ridgway were the parents of Ann Ridgway, b. 5 Feb 1725, who married James Willits, at the Little Egg Harbor Monthly Meeting, in the year 1741. She was an eminent Quaker minister, and died 24 Jan 1815, aged eighty-nine years."

NOTE: Exact birthdates may be incorrect; it's unknown whether or not the author translated the dates from Quaker style. If he did not, "ye first month" would indicate March, rather than January.
