Timothy Matlack Grave

Free Quaker Burial Ground (Wetherills Cemetery,) Audubon Rd, Audubon, PA

This cemetery is hard to find. Drive to the intersection of Paulings Rd and Audubon Rd in Audubon, PA. On Paulings Rd close to Audubon Rd look for the historical marker at the roadside. Park there in the gravel lot, and walk straight into the field along the edge of the woods. You will see baseball fields to your left. After walking about 100 yards, find a path on the right leading into the woods. Just a short distance down that path you will see the small cemetery on your left.

Timothy Matlack was a Pennsylvania politicain associated with Joseph Reed (q.v.) You can read about Matlack, and the source of his animosity toward Benedict Arnold, in Willard Sterne Randall's book "Benedict Arnold, Patriot and Traitor." (see pages 436 ff)
It is believed that Timothy Matlack engrossed the Declaration of Independence (handwrote the final copy on parchment to be signed into law.)
