Edgeley Mennonite Burying Ground is located on the west part of Lot 7, Concession 4, in Vaughan Township, now the City of Vaughan, on the east side of Jane Street.

About 1800, John Smith deeded this site for a church and burying ground. The first church, a Mennonite Meeting House, was built in 1824. The first known burial dates from 1823.

The transcription, published in 1993, is 29 pages long, and consists of a short history, photos, a map, the inscriptions and an index.
