The no-longer-extant Burial Ground or Cemetery variously referred to as the Gibbonsville, Port Schuyler, West Troy, Watervliet Cemetery: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7Mt-S77wZKfZXl4ZkxXMDZlUW8/edit?usp=sharing “The union of the North and the South and the obliteration of the Mason and Dixon line never meant more to the people of the whole United States than the union of the north and south portions of the city means at the present time to the residents of Watervliet. […] Little did the people that lived and worked a century ago dream that this little burial-ground would in the twentieth century furnish the means for the entire transformation and upbuilding of the city of Watervliet.” Removing early settlers of Watervliet from Watervliet to a cemetery outside of Watervliet held to be more important to the people of Watervliet than the Civil War was to the United States… that’s some pretty extreme rhetoric! Some of the people in it could’ve been from Troy or had connections to Troy. John Burlison (1797-1869), whose neglected and broken headstone is in Mount Ida Cemetery on Pawling, had his first wife and at least two children buried in the Gibbonsville Cemetery. That family had very bad luck when it came to cemeteries - one of his later wives was buried in the since-abandoned Old Presbyterian Cemetery in the triangle between Route 67, Geary Rd, and Turnip Alley in Schaghticoke. The smaller Watervliet Arsenal Cemetery is also mentioned as well as one I haven’t identified yet where at Fenimore Trace Apartments is now on the north side of the Troy-Schenectady Road, northeast of St. Patrick’s Cemetery.

That burial ground on the map looks like the site of the former Gallagher's Fish Fry! > On Jun 25, 2014, at 1:32 PM, Christopher Philippo <toff@mac.com> wrote: > > The no-longer-extant Burial Ground or Cemetery variously referred to as the Gibbonsville, Port Schuyler, West Troy, Watervliet Cemetery: > https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7Mt-S77wZKfZXl4ZkxXMDZlUW8/edit?usp=sharing >
