Newark Union Burial Ground (original) (raw)

Newark Union Burial Ground is a cemetery in Brandywine Hundred, Delaware near Carrcroft. Established in 1687, the cemetery is four acres in size and contains approximately 950 graves, including seven men who fought in the American Revolution and members of some the earliest settlers of the Brandywine Hundred. The cemetery is located less than a mile from the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route through Delaware. The vacant Newark Union Church sits adjacent to the cemetery. It started as a Quaker meetinghouse but became a Methodist Episcopal church in 1845. Both the church and cemetery are listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.
