Notes - * It was the Quakers, escaping persecution in England, who were the primary settlers of Burlington County, arriving in 1677 & 1678. The Quaker belief in the primacy of education (for boys & girls) led to the proliferation of early schools in Burlington County, resulting in a great number of preserved one-room school houses throughout the county.
. Between 1677 & 78 persecution in England lead to many Quakers emigrated to Burlington Co., & from there to Penn. Quakers built many schools for both girls & boys because they believed in education.
. 1897 J. Lawrence Boggs of Perth Amboy recorded the Yellow Meeting House monument: "Elizabeth Lawrence, Born in Leicestershire. October 1st, 1709, Died April 1st, 1772, aged 62 years & 6 months." - - -
