Redstone MM (Gurneyite) was the larger of two meetings in Redstone QM (G). The Gurneyites were the majority at Redstone meeting, and they worshipped in the east end of the meeting house. They laid down the MM on 5/2/1866 and the PM on 5/6/1866.
As the Gurneyites were laying down their Redstone MM and PM in 1866, their trustees consolidated all the burials along the southeast boundary of the property to create building lots along Prospect Street. The Gurneyites then demolished the Redstone Meeting House to create a second building lot along today's Angle Street. The remaining burial ground lot was reduced in size in the mid-twentieth century when Cadwalader Street was laid out through the southeast portion of the property. The borough of Brownsville entered into negotiations with the Gurneyites in the mid-twentieth century, relocating all remains to the Brownsville cemetery at the end of Angle Street, purchasing the remaining property (1955), and constructing a borough service building there.
