Neighborhood burial ground in the Town of New Scotland, near Voorheesville, NY

 
Many thanks to Lynda Von Duhn and her husband for their generous donation of this information.

 

 

The survey done by William Wanzer of Slingerlands in May of 1916, describes the location as: One mile west of the villiage of Voorheesville on the north side of the road to Indian Ladder. An added description given is that the burial ground is located near the old Methodist Episcopal Church which was moved in 1890.
