Motherkill Friends Cemetery (Murderkill Cemetery)
Magnolia, Kent County, Delaware

State Street, Magnolia DE

Lat: 39° 04' 32"N, Lon: 75° 28' 45"W

Contributed by Keith A. McKain, Sep 17, 2000, updated Jan 09, 2005 [geosci64@comcast.net]. Total records = 132.

The cemetery is just N of Magnolia limits on Eastern side of Route 113 Alternate.

There is a very old cemetery near Magnolia, DE It contains 2 very worn and difficult to read signs. I spent some time trying to figure out exactly what they say and have been able to piece together (I think) the following result.

It was started in the late 1700s and is owned by the Quaker Meeting House. There are many buried here without a record.

I was fortunate to obtain a few more records to include with my transcription, thanks to a friend and the local Friends Meeting House in Camden, DE. to make this listing a bit more complete.
