Log Excerpt: "Richard Stockton grave (Princeton, NJ). At Stony Brook Church/Quaker Meeting House Burial Ground, we checked out the grave marker in a small cemetery, right before some sort of service that was going to be held. A gentleman informed us that the marker was just notional, as the exact grave location is not known, Stockton having been buried in secret to avoid desecration by the British."
