NOTE -The "History of Dutchess County," published in 1882 by James H. Smith, states (p. 480) that at that time there were three old stones in the Dover Plains cemetery that had been removed from their original location and stood around a tree. One was that of John Osterhout (No.170 in the foregoing list), the other two were not found in 1913 by Messrs. Poucher and Cummings, and the inscriptions on them are appended, copied from the "History".
