  "Springborough Monthly Meeting, located in Warren county, was established by Miami Quarterly Meeting and composed of Springborough and Sugar Creek Preparative Meetings on 9 Mo. 28, 1824. The meeting was seriously divided at the time of the Hicksite Separation. The monthly meeting was discontinued in 1875, and merged with Miami Monthly Meeting. Jonathan Wright and Deborah Batemen were clerks, Mary Kenworthy and Elizabeth Miller, overseers, and Mary Taylor an elder. Other families were Garretson, Webster, Horner, Williams, Way, Chandler, Wilson, Haines, Leeds, O'Neal, Stanton, Kenworthy, Jones, Taylor and Mitler."

Cemetery History

The Springboro Monthly Meeting first met in 1824, became the Orthodox branch in 1828 and was laid down in 1875. The property was acquired by the Trustees for the Society of Friends in the town of Springborough from James & Delitha Hunnicutt in 1836 and is now a vacant hillside lot owned by High Concrete Technology whose factory is located at the bottom of the hill.  Nearly all remaining stones are now laying on the ground. Many broken tombstones.  A few tombstones were found piled up against the side of the garage.
