Read More	One quarter mile north of Friends Meeting House Burials listed here May 28 2015 from record of Gerberich Tombstone transcriptions, repository ancestry.com. Other entries must be suspect for accuracy if source is not given. Though the Great Separation that divided the Quakers in 1828 has long since been ended, in the middle part of the 1800’s, that division caused a fair number of alternative meeting houses to be built for whichever branch did not retain the original meetinghouses and burial grounds. Since the breech has been healed, many of these old meeting houses are now private residences or have long since been torn down after falling into disrepair, leaving behind a number of cemeteries that often go unidentified. Modern day records from the Quakers generally only show the currently active meetings, so finding information about these older burial grounds can be a real challenge. One such old burial ground belonged to the Orthodox branch of the Friends meeting at Fallowfield, and just to confuse matters more, the area was also called Ercildoun. The meetinghouse has been gone for decades and there are no markings on the gate into the cemetery, enclosed within a sturdy stone wall. Because there is a modern Church of Christ now located on the same corner, it is probably assumed by most that the graveyard belongs to the newer church. history tells us otherwise. The original meetinghouse for the Fallowfield meeting, retained by the Hicksite branch, sits on the southeast corner of the intersection of Rte 82 and Buck Run roads, while the Orthodox portion of the meeting established themselves across the road between Doe Run Road and Wilmington Road. Ercildoun, population about 100, is an unincorporated community in East Fallowfield Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States. The hamlet was founded by Quakers and was an early center of the abolitionist movement. In 1985 the entire hamlet, including 31 properties, was listed as a Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places. Of these properties two were vacant land, 14 were significant buildings, ten were contributing buildings, and five buildings, built in the 1950s, were non-contributing.[2] The Lukens Pierce House, an octagon house listed separately on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, is located about half a mile northwest of the hamlet. Ercildoun is one of about ten hamlets in the township, which has no cities or towns, but has 31 sites listed on the National Register. Though it may not be the largest hamlet, Ercildoun is near the center of the township, and historically among the best known. The city of Coatesville is about 3 miles north.
