A Collection of American Epitaphs and Inscriptions with Occasional Notes. Vol. 3. NY: S. Marks, 1814. I’m guessing they had been buried in the Third Street Cemetery. "The plat of ground on which the City Hall is built was conveyed, on May 10, 1796, by Jacob D. Van Der Heyden, to the trustees of the village, ‘to be used for a public burial ground.’ After Oakwood Cemetery was laid out, many of the remains in it were buried there. When the grave-yard was taken in 1875 for the site of the City Hall, the remains of 208 persons were exhumed and interred in Oakwood Cemetery. Beneath the sod of the unoccupied space between the City Hall and the Baptist Church is a number of graves covered with the marble slabs which once marked them. Among them is the grave of Platt Titus, who, at the time of his death, on Thursday, April 30, 1833, had been proprietor of the Troy House nearly 30 years.” Weise, Arthur James. The City of Troy and Its Vicinity. Troy, NY: Edward Green, 1886. 54. Alden’s volumes 3 and 4 have some inscriptions for Albany, Troy, and elsewhere in the area that offhand I don’t recall seeing recorded in other texts. One of Alden’s observations, or something he recorded as having been written, regarding Jacob D. Vanderheyden (1758-1809) is curious: “His remains were deposited in his family vault, which he had previously prepared, under the presbyterian church in Troy.” Other sources report Jacob D. Vanderheyden’s remains as having been elsewhere (and now at Oakwood). "On the hill, east of Eighth Street, on the dividing line of the Warren and Seminary properties, was the burial-ground of the Van der Heyden family, inclosed by a high stone-wall. The remains interred there were, in July, 1857, transferred to Oakwood Cemetery.” Weise, Arthur James. The City of Troy and Its Vicinity. Troy, NY: Edward Green, 1886. 54. "The family of Jacob D. were buried first in a private graveyard at the head of Grand Division St. In July, 1857, the remains were transferred to Oakwood Cemetery.” Schermerhorn, Richard. “The Vanderheyden Family.” New York Genealogical and Biographical Record 46(1). January 1915. 12. "After Jacob D. VAN DER HEYDEN removed to his mansion, at the head of Grand Division Street, he enclosed a small plat of ground on the eastern hill, a short distance north of the site of the Provincial Seminary, for a family graveyard. In it he and other members of his family were buried. In July 1857, the remains in it were transferred to graves in Oakwood Cemetery.” Weise, Arthur James. Troy’s One Hundred Years, 1789-1889. Troy, NY: William H. Young, 1891. 91. "Vanderheyden was buried in the Third Street Cemetery next to the First Baptist Church. His grandson, Lewis Morris, brought all the family remains to Oakwood after Oakwood Cemetery opened in 1850.”http://www.oakwoodcemetery.org/jacob_van.html There’s glass and marble memorials to Jacob D. Vanderheyden in the former First Presbyterian Church.http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nytigs/ChurchMemorials-Bush%20Memorial.htm The mention above of the Third Street Cemetery next to the First Baptist Church is probably a mistake. That he’d conveyed that land to the Village of Troy for use as a burying ground might be the source of that confusion. Chris Philippo

Chris - I was told by Jane Gale (who had Warren ancestors) that she understood that the Third Street burial ground was at what is now the SW corner of Congress and 3rd. Was it there or adjacent to the Church (Barker Park)? > > I’m guessing they had been buried in the Third Street Cemetery. > The mention above of the Third Street Cemetery next to the First Baptist Church is probably a mistake.
