Moravian Cemetery - Maria Susanna MERK,

I am interested in any information on the Moravian Cemetery at Coral Bay, St. John. My Moravian missionary ancestor, Maria Susanna MERK (previously married to LEVERING), died in 1783 on the Island of St. John - I believe she is buried in this cemetery. I was wondering if there are any graves there from this time period (late 18th Century) and if so, does her grave survive?
Also are there any good sources for history on the Moravians at Coral Bay, St. John?
Many Thanks,
Kyle Miller

I am unfamiliar with St. John records, but you might want to ask your question of an active Moravian history group in PA. Perhaps somebody there could direct you to sources of information. There is an email contact on their webpage.
