Elkanah Fitz Randolph and his tombstone were moved from the Seventh Day Baptist cemetery to another Plainfield Area cemetery in 1903. The people interred in the Seventh Day Baptist Cemetery, which was located at West Ninth Street and Arlington Avenue, had to be moved to other local cemeteries because the land was purchased by the City of Plainfield to build Plainfield High School.
Elkanah Fitz Randolph was President Barack Obama's 5th cousin 6 times removed.
