The name came from Newberry County, or District, in South Carolina. Newberry Monthly Meeting was "set off" (Started or Approved) from Clear Creek Monthly Meeting by Fairfield Quarterly Meeting, 11 Mo. 2, 1816. In recognition of the practices of The Society of Friends, they did not use grave markers until the early to mid 1800's and varied by location. They also did not use a name of the month like May, but rather the number, 5 for May. As you conduct research on this cemetery, you should not look for Martinsville Cemetery: But Newberry Monthly Meeting or Newberry FBG. It wasn't until 1962 that Newberry became Martinsville, a change in name only. The early settlement of Martinsville, Ohio, is practically co-incident with Newberry Monthly Meeting since almost all the early settlers were Friends. The first of whom we have any authentic account was John Wright who settled within the present limits of the town in 1806. He assisted in establishing the first meeting which was held in his home in 1810, under the direction of Clear Creek Monthly Meeting. Soon after John Wright, came many other settlers. The Moons and Garners settled just east of Martinsville in 1808 and John Beals, northeast, Christopher Hiatt, west, and Jacob Jackson, south, in 1810. Among the other earliest Friends to settle here were Owen West, who came in 1808, Daniel Puckett in 1810, William West in 1811, Joseph Mills in 1814, Jacob Hunt in 1816, Thomas Hunt in 1817, and Aaron Betts in 1819. To these may be added the name of James Hadley, who was not only prominent in the church, but also in township affairs.
