    1. [NY-TROY-IRISH-GENSOC] Lansingburgh Village Burying Ground on findagrave

    3. I found some information about the man who seems to have been the last person buried in the Lansingburgh Village Burying Ground and added it to the page on findagrave.com. He was a recent immigrant from Scotland who lived in Albany. He died at his uncle’s house at 231 Fourth Avenue, Lansingburgh, two and a half blocks from the cemetery, which might partly explain why he was buried there. The cemetery had otherwise been closed to new burials in 1900 and in 1901 the City of Troy had reportedly decided on turning the cemetery into building lots as part of its “Greater Troy” ambitions, the latter plans fortunately somehow thwarted. Alexander Ritchie (1889-1912) http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=128150259 Just as the Mount Ida Cemetery on Pawling Avenue on findagrave http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&CRid=65347 has a lot of entries from the wrong cemetery (primarily from the bulldozed original Mount Ida Cemetery at Cypress Street), the Lansingburgh Village Burying Ground has a number of entries that shouldn’t be there as well. Following is a list of veterans supposedly buried at the LVBG followed by links to their actual burial place, the Soldiers Plat at Oakwood Cemetery. In some cases names or dates don’t quite match up, but I’d already found that several of the markers in the Soldiers Plat might have errors.
