A partial list of people who had been buried there is on TIGS’ website: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nytigs/NailFactoryCemetery/NailFactoryCemeteryIntro.htm Nobody is supposed to be buried there still, but that doesn’t mean that nobody is: "There is now no sixth ward burying ground. The bodies are supposed to have been removed to other burial grounds.” Municipal Ordinances of the City of Troy. Troy, NY: Troy Times Art Press, 1905. http://books.google.com/books?id=qz8WAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA219 “The bodies are supposed to have been removed to other burial grounds” doesn’t fill one with confidence that they were. Considering that Troy bulldozed the original Mount Ida Cemetery and Rensselaer County abandoned the County Farm Cemetery in Troy, and historian Frances Broderick believed bodies were left in the old Lansing Family Burying Ground, etc. it seems possible that many or most of the bodies are still there. Even if an attempt had been made to remove them all, it’s almost inevitable that bodies get missed. The last reference to it I’ve found remains this: "Cows and pigs continue to roam over the graves in the old sixth ward burial ground. The fence recently ordered by the common council has not yet been begun." "From the Southern Section." Troy Daily Times. November 21, 1883: 3 col 3. Chris Philippo
