I actually just found that site.. co-incidentle? i just requested from them a Will for Joshua Springer... hopefully it goes through great info, i tried looking for something like that but i couldnt find it... you are a master genealogist!

I tried looking up that cemetery, I cannot find where it is located, maybe it doesnt exist anymore and isnt ran by anyone? i find websites for it but really no address or anything like that

This might be it:

Grove Methodist Cemetery
Chester County, Pennsylvania
Boot and W Grove Rds
Grove, West Chester, PA 19380
610-696-6337

Lat: 40° 00' 14"N, Lon: 75° 37' 59"W

The Grove Methodist Church operated the cemetery from the mid 1700s until the early 1940s when it was separated from the church and was incorporated in 1957, and operates under a board of five, known as Grove Methodist Cemetery, Inc.
