    1. [NY-TROY-IRISH-GENSOC] Supervisors of the Town of Troy? Graves of Troy Village Presidents?
    2. Christopher Philippo via
    3. The book Troy’s One Hundred Years http://books.google.com/books?id=O5ZHAAAAYAAJ has lists of Presidents of the Village of Troy (322-333) and Mayors of the City of Troy (326), but not Supervisors of the Town of Troy. The book History of the Seventeen Towns of Rensselaer County http://books.google.com/books?id=0xEQAwAAQBAJ indicates the first Supervisor of the Town of Troy, elected 1791, was Cornelius Lansing (17) who later served as the first Supervisor of the Town of Lansingburgh when that town was created in 1807 (38). Is there a list of later Supervisors of the Town of Troy? I was also looking for the graves of the Presidents of the Village of Troy. John McCoun 1798-1799; 1801-1802 Benjamin Gorton 1799-1800 - Mt Ida, Pawling Ave Ephraim Morgan 1800-1801 - original Mt. Ida, Cypress St Albert Pawling 1802-1803; 1804-1805; 1815-1816 - Mt. Ida, Pawling Ave Edward Tylee 1803-1804; 1804-1805; 1805-1808; 1810-1811- Chase Cemetery, Lysander, NY Abraham Ten Eyck 1808-1810; 1811-1813 Timothy Hutton 1813-1814 - Lamington Presbysterian Church Cemetery, NJ Derick Lane 1814-1815 - Oakwood Cemetery http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=vcsr&GSvcid=442785 I’m not sure where John McCoun was buried or Abraham Ten Eyck. John McCoun married Elizabeth Townsend, so they could be in a McCoun or Townsend lot somewhere, transferred from wherever they were originally buried. An Abraham [Jacob] Ten Eyck who married an Anna Lansing and who died in 1824 was buried in the State Street Cemetery in Albany and transferred to Albany Rural Cemetery, Sec 60 Lot 11. He was more associated with Albany, but perhaps he was in Troy for a short time - something which could account for a remark on the People of Colonial Albany website “After 1810, his name no longer appeared on Albany rolls.” http://www.nysm.nysed.gov/albany/bios/t/abte4808.html Chris Philippo
