Speaking of Quaker cemeteries, was there a trend not to mark graves with
headstones during the 1790s?  Dr. Elisha Dick, who attended George Washington's
last illness, was buried in the Quaker cemetery in Alexandria when he died.
There seem to be no stones there.  Would anyone know of any records that could be
used to locate the grave?
