Many patriots of the American Revolution are buried in this cemetery. Some of the gravestones bear inscriptions proving their active participation. Many of the stones are broken, and pieces are missing. Some are so worn that the lettering cannot be deciphered. Dozens of graves are marked with unlettered slabs of crude granite.
Grave markers are scarce in the rear sections.
It cannot be known for certain, who, or how many persons are buried in unmarked graves, for there is no known written record of those interred. Unity Presbyterian Church has a long history in the area. The first building was erected before 1788 in York County near the Lancaster County line, between Steele and Sugar Creeks. The second edifice was built in 1804 near the old cemetery, about 1 mile west of the first location. It was made of logs and had 12 corners.
