According to Weslager's book Delaware's Forgotten Folk, Forest Grove was established around the turn of the century when Frederick Seeney adopted the Adventist faith. Members of the Seeney family followed him into the new faith as did other members of Manship and Fork Branch. Not all members of the present congregation, however, are descendants of the mixed race community but I have included all the grave markers I found. Also there are obviously people buried at Forest Grove without any markers who have not been included in this list.
See also Mitsawokett for additional information.

Entries below were made on 6/9/00. The dates have been standardized in format. Entries in quotes are inscriptions copied from the markers. Other entries are comments. The listing is not in strict alphabetical order because I have grouped together individuals appearing on the same grave stone. I have also tried to keep together individuals grouped in the same "plot". |
