ANGLICAN cemetery,Placentia,Newfoundland

My GGG-GF,John Green(e),was a Quaker,as were his father Michael and brother Robert. John and Robert came in from Boston to Placentia,Nfld. in 1778,possibly just returning home,as they had traded between the two places for years on the family schooner.
John married an RC girl,so all local descendants are buried in the Placentia RC cemetery.However, the Quakers,John,Robert,Michael,and probably Michael's wife,are buried in the Anglican churchyard in Placentia.
At least one of the headstones was still standing and readable in about 1930s,but has since presumably fallen over and been buried under Springtime muds.
Does anyone have knowledge of these GREEN headstones,or possibly photos taken of the churchyard up to,say,1950s.I don't know when the stones fell over.
Thanks.Ward.wardgreene@hotmail.com
