    3. I’ve listed below some of the Nail Factory Cemetery interments from the Troy burial books that Frances D. Broderick missed in her own collection. It’s far from a complete list of her omissions, as I haven’t even approached getting through all the records yet. I collected some towards the beginning of the records that specify the place of interment and some towards the end. Some of the surnames are ones that aren’t represented in her collection at all, like Ball and Brown. Others, like Chapman and Darby, she had recorded interments for other people with those surnames. The original records are at times quite sloppy, or are clear but contain dubious spelling. Ball, Mary J. August 12, 1853 Brown, Sarah July 25, 1855 Chapman, Mary September 11, 1853 Curtis, George November 4, 1856 Darby, Catherine M. August 8, 1854 Gibson, James December 1, 1856 Gibson, Jenny December 16, 1856 [on FDB’s list, but w/o first name] Laney, Bessie June 17, 1884 McCrie, Margaret October 3, 1856 McPherson, Alexander November 1, 1853 Norton, Mary Ann July 10, 1855 Osgood, Raschal September 1, 1854 Ostrander, William December 14, 1854 Price, David February 6, 1856 Schober, C. A. C. May 31, 1854 Thompson, Robert February 12, 1856 Vaughn, William H. May 7, 1884 I’d mentioned before that the Troy burial books have some interments recorded for the old Cohoes City Cemetery (the one moved to Crescent where only about twenty graves are marked out of perhaps 1,000 or so) and Calvary Cemetery in Cohoes (the one where most headstones were buried or removed in the 1950s), and St. John’s Cemetery in Albany (the one whose records TIGS transcribed). There’s some interments for most places in Rensselaer County, including Albia, Brunswick, Buskirk Bridge, Grafton, Greenbush, Hoosick Falls, Petersburg, Pittstown, Poestenkill, Quackenkill, Sand Lake, Schaghticoke, Schodack, Stephentown, Valley Falls, West Sand Lake, and Wynantskill. There’s some interments for places in other counties, including Albany, Cayuga, Clinton, Columbia, Dutchess, Essex, Fulton, Greene, Herkimer, Monroe, Oneida, Onondaga, Otsego, Putnam, Saratoga, Schenectady, Suffolk, Ulster, Washington, Westchester, and NYC. There’s some interments for places in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, and in Canada. (There’s also some that are quite vague, like “in the country” and “out west” - or which leave the place of interment blank.) These are records that would be of interest to more than just people from Troy. Chris
