BAILEY-BROADHURST-MAJOR Information submitted by [email protected]. Beverwyck Cemetery, City of Rensselaer, Rensselaer Co., NY Correction: Rose BECKER BAILEY - born Nov 5, 1867; died Sep 24, 1943 Additions: Dorothy BROADHURST - born Nov 1928; died Nov 1942 William Edward MAJOR - born 1840; died 1917 (husband of Mary BECKER)

BAREIS Information submitted by E. M. Bareis. The Rensselaer Co NY Cemetery Database has these two entries: BAREIS, Bertha E., died in 1866 at the age of 81y and is buried at Nassau-Schodack Cemetery in Nassau. BAREIS, John F.W., died in 1948 at the age of 70y and is buried at Nassau-Schodack Cemetery in Nassau. This needs correcting. Bertha E. BAREIS was born on July 15, 1885 and passed away in 1966. John F.W. Bareis was born in 1878 and died in 1948. These people were my grandparents. Kindest regards, E. M. Bareis

BARRINGER and KINGMAN Information submitted by Bill Claydon. Corrections for the Rensselaer County Cemetery Listings: All three of these are in one of the BARRINGER family plots of the Nassau-Schodack Cemetery (close to the middle of the cemetery). Their parents were George BARRINGER and Sarah KINGMAN. Willie K. BARRINGER should be Willis K. BARRINGER (the K is for Kingman, his mother's maiden name). He was born on November 10, 1873 and died on March 20, 1891. Katie May BARRINGER's birth and death dates are not listed. She died July 7, 1885, aged 3 years, 6 months and 18 days. (The stone does not list a birthdate, but calculated, that would be December 20, 1881.) Fannie A. BARRINGER is not listed. She was born September 9, 1882 and died May 21, 1893.

BEVERWYCK CEMETERY in the city of Rensselaer Information submitted by Mike Smith of Malta, Saratoga Co, NY.

BICKFORD-FREEMYER-WHITE Information submitted by Gillian Wilson. Emma L. BICKFORD (1860-1903) was the wife of Henry Ellis FREEMYER. Emma was my great-grandmother. Charles A. BICKFORD (1850-1928), John B. BICKFORD (1865-1909), and Lewis BICKFORD (1849-1909) were all sons of Prosper BICKFORD and Mary Jane WHITE.

BLOOMFIELD and BURDICK Information submitted by Katherine J. Wilkinson. Irene E. BLOOMFIELD was not the wife of Chauncey E. BURDICK, as reported in the Interments in Rensselaer County Cemeteries database. Irene E. BLOOMFIELD was the wife of Sidney BURDICK, Chauncey E. BURDICK's brother.

BLUTEAU, DUPREY, SHANAHAN, TOOMEY Information submitted by the Rev. Rita B. Nelson of Millsboro, Delaware. I was just up in Hoosick Falls, NY doing some genealogy on my family last month [July 2009]. You have a listing for Edward F. BLUTEAU buried in St. Mary's Cemetery in Hoosick. I have a picture of his gravestone and that of his daughter. Edward was married to my grandmother's sister, Abbie Louise DUPREY. Edward's mother was Virginia (maiden surname unknown), and his father was Charles BLUTEAU. They had one child, Virginia, who was known as "Vera", and you have her listed as well in the same cemetery. She was the spouse of Daniel J. SHANAHAN (who is also listed).... According to the Immaculate Conception Church records, my great-grandmother, Abbie TOOMEY DUPREY (born in about 1852, died 26 July 1900), is supposedly buried in that same plot, but we could find no markers.

BRADSHAW Information submitted by Shirley Dilsworth of Grand Blanc, Michigan. I found a book in the Troy Public Library in 2004 that had burials in Old Lansingburgh Cemetery. Thank heaven someone did the book when they did, as when we visited the cemetery, I think there might have been five gravestones standing upright, perhaps three of these readable; the rest were on the ground. These are the old sandstone markers that do not withstand the test of time. Anyway, the book also listed William BRADSHAW's wife Elizabeth BRADSHAW, who died January 14 ,1852 at age 80. Thanks.

BREAKEY Information submitted by Jim Breakey Graves. On your web page, https://sites.rootsweb.com/~nyrensse/cemb14.htm, Interments in Rensselaer Co. Cemeteries", the first three line items are for the surname Breakey. Lines two and three appear to be the same individual, but with typographic errors on both lines: Breakey vs. Breakhy 31 Jan 1848 vs. 30Jan1848\ 47y 10m 23d vs. 42y 10m 23d Harriet Breakey vs. Harriet Akin Akin/Kellogg vs. East Greenbush/Reformed Church Dr. vs. doctor, formerly at Fam. Bur. grnd. 2.5 mi. So./Renss. Can you offer any insights as to which data are correct? [RESPONSE from Lin Van Buren: The Cemetery Database comes from a variety of sources. Sometimes those sources do not agree with each other. The compiler of the Cemetery Database included both sources in order to provide our readers with as much information as possible. Although I have no insight to offer as to which data are correct, I'd like to point out that it is possible that none of these data are incorrect. Could it be that these people were buried in the Akin/Kellogg Cemetery, and then someone recorded those inscriptions, and then at a later date, these remains were reinterred in a larger cemetery where the gravestones would be more likely to be maintained? It has to be said that these precious old cemeteries undergo further decay with age, and in some cases, inscription recordings made some 75 years ago or so have already outlived the cemeteries themselves. Just as a general "heads-up" (and there is no reason to suspect that this has been the case with these Breakey gravestones), I also know of incidences in which someone, quite well meaning, I'm sure, erected a gravestone many decades after someone's death and then caused to be inscribed on it information which he or she undoubtedly believed to be accurate, but which through diligent primary research has been found to be inaccurate. The same can be said about those Family Bibles in which some of the inscriptions were made many decades, or even more than a century, after the fact.]

BROWN Information submitted by Jeannette Grosvenor. You have Jeptha BROWN born in 1792 and dying in 1827, age 52 years. I believe the age to be correct, but the math doesn't check out. I suspect he might be the father of Hiram BROWN, but there is no proof. He is buried in Pittstown.

BURDICK Information submitted by Jon Saunders of Omaha, Nebraska. The obituary of George E. BURDICK gives the correct death date for the individual as Monday, Oct. 10, 1977. Your online listing gives 1967 as his death date.

BURNSIDE, MERRITT, TAYLOR and CRIMM Information submitted by Joyce Weaver. Corrections for the BURNSIDE listings at Mountain View Cemetery in Schodack Town. There is a stone that lists Nancy J. TAYLOR, wife of James W. BURNSIDE. Nancy Jane MERRITT was the widow of William or John TAYLOR when she married James Owen BURNSIDE, so both names have errors: Nancy Jane MERRITT, wife of James Owen BURNSIDE is correct. I also believe that Nancy's date of birth is about 1813 based on the ages of her TAYLOR children and her age given in the 1850, 1855, and 1860 censuses. James's dates do not appear on the stone, but his death certificate does list him as buried there. His date of birth is Feb. 24, either 1807 or 1809, and he died March 12, 1889. Also incorrect is the transcription of the name of Imogene BURNSIDE's husband. He was John CRIMM, not GRIMM. Thanks for making the space available for corrections. Nancy and James are my husband's 2ggrandparents, and Imogene (aka Emma) is one of their daughters. Adelaide BURNSIDE, wife of Silas CARGON, also buried there, is another daughter.

CANNON Information submitted by Letitia Lombardelli. In the Oakwood Cemetery, 1898 listing, the parents of my GGGrandmother, Sarah CANNON LANE, are listed as Ibri and Dorcas CAMERON. But it should read CANNON. Thanks for letting me add this correction. Tish Lombardelli Hermosa Beach, California Searching CANNON, LANE, DUNHAM, HERRON

DAURIO Information submitted by N. L. Rinsma. For St. John's Cemetery, Schaghticoke, Rensselaer County, NY: DAURIO, Peter born 8 September 1892, Italy died 28 June 1978, Troy, Rensselaer County, NY. He was the husband of Gertrude (CARR) DAURIO, was buried next to her, and was the father of John V. DAURIO, who is buried nearby, also in St. John's.

DAVIS and SACKETT Information submitted by Jeanette Otis. I believe I found a typo on the https://sites.rootsweb.com/~nyrensse/cemd2.txt page. The Phebe DAVIS listed as marrying Benjamin SACKETT has a death date of 12 Oct 1926. It should be 1826. For cross-references from your site with the correct information, there is a listing for Phebe SACKETT, wife of Benjamin SACKETT, who died 12 Oct 1826 on the cems1.txt file, and in the diary of George HOLCOMB, one of the entries is 13 Oct 1826 - Funeral of Old Widow Phebe SACKETT, wife of deceased Benjamin SACKETT. Died very suddenly yesterday morn. Moses HUNTER preached at the meetinghouse. Jeanette M. Otis

DORAN Information submitted by Lynn Calvin, Coordinator of the Saratoga County, NY GenWeb site. The Rensselaer Co NY Cemetery Database, on page https://sites.rootsweb.com/~nyrensse/cemd7.txt, has this entry: Doran, Florence C., born 1905, died 1924, daughter of William A. Doran and Florence J. Bernard, buried Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in East Greenbush As addition (or actually amplification) for your cemetery database, the above cemetery database entry has this back story:

GARNRICK Information submitted by Margot Gifford. Name correction for Frank Garnrick 1860-1941 age 81y wife Amelia Crosprey 1859-1920. Name should be Carnrick. Franklin "Frank" Carnrick b. 1 Apr 1860 d. 16 Dec 1941 [son of Henry Carnrick 1824-1863 & Mariette Flint 1830-1914] interment Woodside Cemetery, Poestenkill.

Griffin, Joseph should be Gifford, Joseph; his wife should be Sarah Fuller, not Griffin; his Mother was Lois Jackson; his father was Gideon Gifford Griffin, Martha should be Gifford, Martha; her mother was Sibyl Wilson; her father was Gideon Gifford Griffin, Sarah should be Fuller, Sarah; husband should be Joseph Gifford, not Griffin Griffin, William wife should be Martha Gifford, not Griffin.

HALL Information submitted by Lucy Erskine. I discovered that the listings have my grandfather's name as Hall, which means he is not listed with the hundred or so Hulls for that cemetery, and that his wife Fannie Niles is down as a Hall, instead of Hull also. Please correct their names to HULL.

HANNON Information submitted by Paul McNulty. Gravestone in Saint Mary's Cemetery, Hoosick, Rensselaer Co, NY: John H. Hannon 1868-19___ Ellen Jones His Wife 1868-1928 There are no last two digits on John Hannon's death date. Also, buried in an unmarked grave in the same cemetery is: Margaret Jones Collyer B. 1879 D. 27 July 1931

HANSEN and BUGLI Information submitted by Mary-Elizabeth Hansen Joba. My mother, Marguerite BUGLI HANSEN, is buried in the Jens Christian HANSEN/Dagmar JUHL HANSEN plot in Elmwood Cemetery in Schaghticoke, Rensselaer County, New York. The Rensselaer County Cemetery Database gives her parents as Jens Christian HANSEN and Dagmar JUHL. They are not her parents; they are her mother-in-law and her father-in-law. She is the wife of John Alfred HANSEN, who is buried in the same plot. Marguerite's parents are Charles BUGLI and his wife Ellen, who are buried in Elmwood Cemetery in Quaker Springs, Saratoga County, New York. Thank you in advance for correcting this error.

HARRINGTON / HERRINGTON Information submitted by Tom Theilmann. My relatives are HERRINGTONs, and my neighbors were HARRINGTONS. While the gravestones have the correct spelling for Edith and Edwin, the records swapped the e for an a. Tom Theilmann

HAYNER Information submitted by Gene Stoddard. The inscription on Martin John HAYNER's gravestone is as follows: Elizabeth, his wife, died June 4, 1881, AE 61 yrs. She is identified as a daughter of Johannes (John J.) WAGER and Ann MORRISON, which may be incorrect. She is said to have been born 6 July 1813, which is in conflict with the gravestone inscription, which would imply that she was born about 1820. [Gene writes, "Death report found Pittstown, Rensselaer County, NY - Martin J. Hayner Jr., widowed, died in Leominster, Mass. on Aug. 12, 1905, age 61; died of apoplexy with heat prostration a contributing factor; informant Edwin D. Hayner.] "Elizabeth is thought to have been the widow of Anthony LOCKROW, whom she married 15 Oct 1836. That couple had four daughters: Adelia LOCKROW born ca 1839 Mary LOCKROW born ca 1842 Louise LOCKROW born ca 1844 Henrietta LOCKROW born ca 1847 "The record shows Elizabeth WAGER LOCKROW to have married second Martin J. HAYNER [Sr] 13 June 1854. "At Elmwood Cemetery, Schaghticoke, Elizabeth WAGER LOCKROW shares a marker with Martin J. HAYNER Sr.... Your online data shows Elizabeth to be the wife of Frances M. HAYNER. This is in error. The grave of Frances M. HAYNER is indeed next to Elizabeth's marker, but Frances was her stepdaughter-in-law, Frances M. STARK HAYNER, the wife of Martin HAYNER Jr. "Martin John HAYNER Jr, born 1845 Schaghticoke, NY, married Frances M. STARK, born 5 March 1844 Schaghticoke, NY, died Dec. 15, 1900 (Martin HAYNER Jr's reported date of death shown is questionable). Martin HAYNER Jr's grave is nowhere to be found and may be in Canada or some other location near one of his children.... I have been to the gravesite of Martin HAYNER Jr's wife, and it is she who died Dec. 15, 1900, not Martin. She is buried in the family plot of Martin HAYNER Sr. There is no evidence that Martin HAYNER Jr is buried there also, nor is there any physical evidence that any of their children are buried there."

HERRINGTON and GROGAN Information submitted by [email protected]. GROGAN Blanche H. 1895 1897 Schaghticoke Elmwood There may be a mistake on the year of death for Blanche H. Grogan (my great-aunt). She was born in 1895 but did not die in 1897 as listed. Perhaps it should be 1997.

HILLS Information submitted by John Hills. In the Rensselaer County, NY Cemetery Database, there are two entries for Samuel HILLS: one as Samuel D Hills and the other as Samuel O Hills. Both should be Samuel D Hills; one is the father of the other. There seems to be a transcription error in the records of the two men. The records ought to read: Samuel D HILLS b 1797 d Jan 28, 1843 and Samuel D Hills b 1825 d July 10, 1849 Mrs. Wiley, the Pittstown Historian, made these corrections based on the Harrington Cemetery Records. These dates come from her review of the Harrington records and other records from the Pittstown Corners Baptist & Disciple cemetery. Interestingly enough, the same mistakes show in the 1850 motality schedule. The corrections, as made, fit Henry Bond's 1850 genealogy entry for the family. John Hills, Portland, Oregon

HORTON Information submitted by Linda Brown. I was looking up my HORTONs and found that you have a Fred Ernest HORTON buried in Brunswick, Forest Park, age 28, interment 21 June 1927. I have a newspaper clipping of his death. He died on 21 June 1927 and was buried a couple of days later, on 23 June 1927. He was the husband of Vera AGAN. His birth was 3 August 1898 in Stephentown. Linda Brown

HOUSE Information submitted by Kathleen House Petersen. I couldn't find my ancestors in the Mount Ida Cemetery data on the website. I found these listed in records in the Troy library. There are actually two different records; one is a list of interments and simply lists "wife of Albert House", but the book below lists information collected many years ago from the headstones before they were destroyed.

KALINOWSKI Information submitted by Veronica Royall. My great-grandmother, Tillie KALINOWSKI, was born July 4, 1898. I have a copy of her birth record. Many other family members have confirmed this date. Her gravestone in St. Mary's Cemetery in Hoosick Falls, Rensselaer Co., NY also reflects this date. Your current database states her year of birth as 1893. Info from her birth record from the town of Adams, Massachusetts: Birth name: Jechla Pitkoff Parents: Carl Pitkoff and Barbara Jendezyk Date of birth: July 4, 1898 Pitkoff was later Americanized to Pytko. Thanks for your time. I really enjoy the Rensselaer County site. It has been a great help in my genealogical research. Veronica

KALVELAGE Information submitted by [email protected]. Under the name Kalvelage, you show the following: Kalvelage, Henry J., died 16 June 1973, wife Agnes M. Cusick; buried in Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in East Greenbush. You also list his wife: Cusick, Agnes M., died 18 Jan 1950, husband Henry J. Kalvelage; buried in Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in East Greenbush. But you do not list their daughter, Mary Catherine Kalvelage, 1964. This is a three-grave lot, and all three family members are together. Henry, "husband", is in grave #10; Mary Catherine, "daughter", is in #11, and Agnes, "wife", is in #12. I hope you will be able to correct this. Thank you. "a distant Kalvelage relative"

KREIGER Information submitted by Lorraine D. Weeks. This is just to note an error in your listing. It's regarding your listing of "KRECKER". It should be KREIGER. And the first name is listed as Fredrick, and that is misspelled; [it] should be Frederick. He was the Sand Lake doctor for many years, and I am a family member by a former marriage. FYI. Thank you.

MCAULIFFE Information submitted by Mary McAuliffe Nigro. Here is a correction to the Rensselaer County Cemetery Database. 1883 Jan. 1 - Timothy McAuliffe - his age at death was 53, not 94. He was my great-grandfather, and I have the death certificate from Troy, as well as the death notice from the newspaper. I wonder if the age of 94 refers to his father's age at death. With deepest thanks, Mary Nigro

MCGINTY Information submitted by Chris Philippo. The surnames of Bessie, George and Thomas G. McGinty should be McGinity.

MICHAELS-KENYON Information submitted by Mary Bridger. Hi Lin, My name is Mary Bridger, and I'm writing in regards to some of my relatives and their gravesites which don't seem to be right, according to my calculations. For one, my grandparents are both listed in two different cemeteries, Grafton Center Cemetery and Warren Cemetery. I know for a fact that they are both buried in the Warren Cemetery. Their names are Orville B. MICHAELS, date of birth 1 November 1900, date of death May 1971, and Jennie MICHAELS, date of birth 19 October 1900, date of death November 1961. Now, Orville did remarry another woman named Myrtle, unknown last name, and she is buried in the Grafton Center Cemetery, but there is nothing showing this anywhere, no stone, no record. I believe she had passed in about 1967 or 1968. I have been trying to find out her last name before she married my grandfather, but to no avail. She also had a daughter that was buried in that cemetery: Dorothy Hope KENYON, date of birth 1935, date of death January 1966. I have an uncle also buried in there: Byron MICHAELS, date of birth 25 December 1935, date of death 1993. If you could help me with any of this information, it would be greatly appreciated. I do not live locally; I live in Whitehall, [Washington County] NY. Thank you. Mary Bridger [Note from Lin: The Rensselaer County Cemetery Database is compiled from a variety of sources. One possibility for the seeming presence of Mary's grandparents in two different cemeteries is that they were buried in one and were later removed to another. Also, sometimes a widowed spouse erects a joint monument to both the deceased spouse and the surviving spouse, and then the surviving spouse perhaps remarries, perhaps moves away, and eventually is buried elsewhere - but the monument remains, with the surviving spouse's name still on it. Angels such as DAR ladies come along later recording gravestone inscriptions, so of course they record the surviving spouse's name; they have no way of telling that the surviving spouse was never buried there.]

MILLARD Information submitted by Dorothy Cartwright Bacheller. I believe the ELIZAH MILLARD listed in the Rensselaer County cemetery list as deceased on 11 April 1855 at the age of 56 years 10 months was ELIJAH MILLARD, son of Elijah Millard (1755? - 1821) and Elizabeth Weeks Cartwright Millard (1770-1845). ELIJAH MILLARD, 52, appears in the 1850 Census of Berlin with his sister Catherine and his son Elijah, Jr., age 16. In 1855 Catherine and Elijah, Jr., now 21, are living together, but Elijah Sr. has disappeared.

PHILLIPS and VICKERY Information submitted by Lin Van Buren. The cemetery database has an entry for PHILLIPS, Dorcas, [relict of] Joseph PHILLIPS. This Joseph PHILLIPS and his wife Dorcas are indeed buried at the Log Meeting House Cemetery in the hamlet of North Schodack, in the town of Schodack, Rensselaer County, NY. Dorcas Phillips's gravestone does say that she died at age 70. However, the death date given in the cemetery database, 1815, is incorrect. I have seen and photographed these gravestones. The gravestone of Dorcas PHILLIPS says that she died on 22 March 1813. This date is corroborated by her will (source: Rensselaer Co NY Surrogate Court Will Book 4 page 247). This will was written on 23 February 1813 and was probated on 3 April 1813; therefore, the testatrix has to have died between these two dates. To view a full transcript of this will, click here. Joseph PHILLIPS and wife Dorcas VICKERY were the parents of eight children, all named in Dorcas [VICKERY] PHILLIPS's will: Timothy PHILLIPS, born 1 Jan 1765, died 21 June 1847; married Margaret LEWIS, born ca 24 July 1767, died 31 Jan 1856; both buried at the Log Meeting House Cemetery in Schodack.

Of the 14, two died in infancy, and a third, Mary PHILLIPS (1816-1838), died unmarried at age 22. A fourth, John PHILLIPS who married Frances VANDENBERGH, predeceased his father but left issue.

David PHILLIPS [Jr.] and wife Bathsheba MANVILLE had only two children to survive infancy, both of them daughters. These two daughters were Mary Louisa PHILLIPS (1843-1890) and Emma Elizabeth PHILLIPS (1849-1902). Mary Louisa PHILLIPS was married on 3 Dec 1863 in East Greenbush to her second cousin Clark A. PHILLIPS (1840-1911), son of Andrew W. PHILLIPS (1808-1880) and wife Julia Ann SLITER (1815-1883); this Andrew W. PHILLIPS was a son of James PHILLIPS and Dorothy WEATHERWAX. (Yes, there really were two different couples of similar age named Andrew and Julia Ann PHILLIPS!) Emma Elizabeth PHILLIPS was married on 8 Oct 1867 in East Greenbush to Augustus DeWitt TRAVER (1847-1928).

ROSENBERG CEMETERY in PETERSBURGH Information submitted by Meredith DeBuse. Rosenberg Cemetery, town of Petersburgh, Rensselaer Co, NY, between hamlet of North Petersburgh and Vermont state line, now destroyed, from an earlier copy by Hilda ALLEN, and our notes (I think from the Pownal, Vermont Historical Society, but can't remember for sure).

RYAN-BANKER Information submitted by Dale Ryan. I was just looking over the cemetery listings. I believe the RYANs and possibly the BANKERs were moved to "Maplewood" cemetery on Plank Road, not Maple Grove. There is a Maple Grove cemetery, located in Hoosick. I know some of the BANKERs lived near there. Maplewood cemetery borders our farm. I have many generations of relatives buried there. I am the tenth generation to live on this property. My great ...... grandfather Michael VANDERCOOK purchased our land from Peter VAN RENSSELAER in 1770. The original deed still exists. We originally owned 6,600 acres, from what is now Pittstown to the bank of the Hudson River in the North Troy/Pleasantdale area. There are approximately 103 acres left. Dale Ryan

SIMMONS, JOSLIN, CRONKRIGHT Information submitted by Bill Simmons. Please be advised that the S. SIMMONS 1814-1894 is Simeon SIMMONS, married first to Laura S. JOSLIN and second to Barbara Ann CRONKRIGHT of Poestenkill, N. Y. See the 1855 NY State Census for Sand lake and the 1880 US Census. He is my great-great-grandfather. Also, his father, Moses SIMMONS, and Marmre SIMMONS are buried in the same plot. Thanks, Bill Simmons

SPRAGUE Information submitted by Ellen Percy Miller. About two years ago I visited the stone of Ruth Sprague born Jan. 11, 1846 which is found in the Old Maple Grove Cemetery in the village of Hoosick Falls, town of Hoosick, Rensselaer Co, NY. The inscription on the stone is found in several books on interesting stones in New England. The stone says Ruth Sprague dau. of Gibson & Elizabeth Sprague died Jan. 11, 1846; aged 9 years 4 mo's & 3 days. She was stolen from the grave by Roderick H. Clow & dissect- ed at Dr. P. M. Armstrong's office in Hoosick N.Y. from which place her mutilated remains were obtained & deposited here. Her body dissected by fiendish Men Her bones anatomised, Her soul we trust has risen to God Where few Physicians rise." Dr. P. M. Armstrong was my great-great-great-grandfather who apprenticed physicians. In those days, they had to steal bodies in order to do autopsies and learn about the human body. This time they got caught. Two years ago the stone had broken off at the base and had been repaired with cement which covered the last line, "Where few Physicians rise." I would like to see the cement removed from this last line, especially since it is my understanding that cement eats limestone and the inscription would be lost. I would be willing to donate some money towards this. Can we do something about this?

VOGT Information submitted by a contributor who wishes to remain anonymous. While researching my HANNAN family in the New York City area, I ordered and received a copy of a death certificate of a husband which shows that the man was buried in Schodack Landing Cemetery. Since he is not in your Rensselaer County Cemetery Database, I thought I'd submit the information to you. Charles J. VOGT Age 48 (I think his birthdate was Sept 1855) Died March 16, 1904 in Bellevue Hospital, New York City, of tuberculosis Buried 19 March 1904 in Schodack Landing Cemetery, Schodack, Rensselaer County, NY Father: Michael VOGT Mother: Catherine SPECHT Wife: Nellie HANNAN Born in the US, both parents born in Germany I also found him at age 14 with his parents and siblings in Schodack in the 1870 US Census, so I'm guessing that his body was transported north to be buried with his kin, even though he had lived in NYC for the previous 30 years or so, according to his death certificate. Source info: Death Certificate 10400, 1904, Manhattan, NY.

WEATHERWAX, CRAPO, MCCULLUGH Information submitted by Wayne E. Weatherwax of Westfield, Massachusetts. The following additional info will connect/correct some CRAPO / MCCULLUGH / WEATHERWAX information contained in these [main Rensselaer County Cemetery Database] records. Jacob F. WEATHERWAX 1827-1906 buried in Elmwood Cemetery [in Schaghticoke] married first Sarah CRAPO 1831-1861. Both are buried in Elmwood. They had one child, Mary F. WEATHERWAX, born in 1855. The date of death for Jacob WEATHERWAX is incorrect. He died in Westfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts on 28 March 1905. I found his obituary in the local newspaper as well as [confirmation of this death date] in the census / directory for the city of Westfield (I live in Westfield). Jacob's second wife was Alma L. MCCULLUGH 1845-1918 (note: also buried in Elmwood Cemetery in the WEATHERWAX lot). This couple married in 1863 and had one child, J. Ensign WEATHERWAX, born 19 January 1869. Appearing in the cemetery records directly above Alma L. MCCULLUGH are her father, Alexander MCCULLUGH 1792-1851, and her mother, Sarah EDDY 1789-5 Jan 1854.

WILLIAMS and BARRY Information submitted by Kathleen Scheffler. Just felt I should drop you a note to let you know that Eunice BARRY who is buried in North Nassau Cemetery is a sister of Jonathan WILLIAMS, not his wife. The date on the stone is April 4, 1840, 76 years, from the DAR records for the North Nassau Old Cemetery. The proof that she is Jonathan's sister comes from Abstracts of Revolutionary War Pension Files, where it states that she gave an aff'dt on 12 Jul 1837 saying that her brother Robinson WILLIAMS srv in the Rev. Robinson was Jonathan's brother. There was also an aff'dt given by the sol's nephew Philip WILLIAMS son of sol's bro Jonathan WILLIAMS, made after that date in Nassau. Jonathan WILLIAMS's wife was Abigail BURR. Hope you don't mind the correction. [NOTE from Lin Van Buren: Not at all, Kathleen! We welcome additions and corrections.]

WOLFORD Information submitted by John Moore. Re this entry: WOLFORD, Ruth E., died 24 Oct 1899, wife of Sirrell Wolford, buried at Garfield Cemetery in Stephentown Ruth Wolford's date of death is incorrect. She died on October 24, 1989, not 1889. Thanks. Ruth Wolford was my grandmother's sister.

WOOD Information submitted by Robert E. Wood.. To whom it may concern: I have the birthdates and expiration dates of Lina M. Wood and Riley S. Wood. Lina: Born March 1883, Died January 14, 1948. Riley S.: Born June 1876, Died January 1963. I am the grandson of Riley and Lina Wood. Respectfully, Robert E. Wood

YOUNGHANS Information submitted by Jim Newell. There is a slight error, could be a typo, for one cemetery entry that shows as follows: Trinity Lutheran Cemetery, town of Sand Lake: YOUNGMANS, Mathais 1819-1896 SEYMOUR, Elizabeth This should be another of my YOUNGHANS members. His birth info would be Mathias H. YOUNGHANS, born Aug 23, 1819, West Sand Lake. You can see these, and more, on my family link which you still have under the Surname Registry category. Thanks. Jim N.
