TOPANEMUS BURYING GROUND
MARLBORO, N. J.
Topanemus was the name applied, in the early history of this county, to a locality origin- ally situated in Freehold township, but now in Marlboro. The name is perpetuated by its application to an old graveyard situated on the farm of John Vandevere.
It was here through the efforts of George Keith, that a Quaker meeting house was built in or about the year 1692, which subsequently, when he repudiated Quakerism and crossed over to the established church of England, became an Episcopal house of worship. As such it was used for some time, but doubtless later was either rebuilt or substituted by another edifice which they called St. Peter's.
Topanemus was in no sense a settlement, but merely a church site. The Rev. Thomas Thompson, writing in 1745-1750, says: The situation of Topanemus, which is distant from any town, is, however, convenient enough to the congregation, and was resorted to by many families in Middlesex county, &c.
At a date subsequent to 1751, but prior to 1760, the church at Topanemus was torn down, and still bearing the name of St. Peter's, was rebuilt in the village of Freehold. Into the new structure was worked a portion of the material taken from Topanemus, and it is in this now old church that the Episcopal service is still conducted.
The site of the graveyard at Topanemus is distant some little way from the road, yet can easily be seen. Trees and underbrush are plentiful, and the stones are moss-covered, fallen and broken, and some unhappily lost. Of the origin of the name there is no certainty, but from its peculiar sound it is presumably Indian.
