There were a number of field stones used at theBruynswick Rural Cemetery, that started life as the chuchyard of the Reformed Dutch Church of Shawangunk, Town of Shawangunk, Ulster County, NY. Example (though 1774 isn't as early as you asked for): http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSsr=1041&GScid=64062&GRid=90429227& ________________________________ > > From: "jacassidy22@verizon.net" <jacassidy22@verizon.net> > > Does any one else have a early Dutch family cemetery or know of a Dutch Church cemetery in which the early > burials were marked with field stones? > =======================================================

Thank you so much for providing the town, county and state where these people lived or ended their lives. By far, not all colonial Dutch colonists lived in what became the state of NY. Some were never in NY, but in the early colonial period were New Nederland settlers nonetheless. They lived in such places that became New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania. Some Dutch colonists emigrated in the mid-1600's (or soomer) to the English colonies (such as Virginia and Maryland), and left descendants in those places. So it is always greatly appreciated whenever someone remembers to give the data that provides the specific location of their own subjects, even if it is as late as 1774.
