ANGLICAN Churchyard burials,Placentia

My Point Verde Greenes became RC after my GGG-GF married an Irish RC girl in early 1790s. He (John Green),brother Robert Green,and father Michael Green were Quakers, and when they died,were buried in the ANGLICAN churchyard in Placentia. Presumably John's wife Mary and his mother(Michael's wife) were also buried there unless someone knows differently.
The problem is that the headstones(they were planters who could afford stones) have all fallen over and been overgrown. I live in Australia so can't wander over there to look.
I have been told by relatives that at least one of the stones was there and readable about 1930s era. Location: As one walks up to the front door of the Anglican church,instead move right and walk up the righthand outside of the church and straight ahead to that corner. Somewhere in that area,which now has no headstones visible at all,but a few largeish single rocks marking presumably grave locations, is where my ancestors are buried.
Does anyone know anything about this churchyard or have access to written records or perhaps someone has old photos showing when that area still had headstones? Thanks.Ward.wardgreene@hotmail.com
