    1. Re: [NYALBANY] Dunbar Farm Burying Ground
    2. Debra Sue Zimmerman
    3. I'm not sure, but this sounds like the burial ground on Dunbar Hollow Road which is part of the old Dunbar farm....famous for an 1853 or 54 murder of two young boys, by an older cousin, Reuben Dunbar. It is my understanding that the cemetery has not been maintained, few of the stones, if any, can be read and is on private property. It would be on the southerly end of Dunbar Hollow Road, not the Cass Hill end. Not sure if this helps at all.

Finkle, a stubborn Anti-Renter, was shot and killed in 1874 by a Deputy Sheriff who had been sent to collect the rent. I found a Dutch Settlers Society Yearbook with a one page listing of 15 stones transcribed by Mr.and Mrs. William VanDerpoel Hannay, July, 1927. It gives the following directions: "turn right from Ravena-Westerlo road at the foot of the Dormansville hill, and proceed 1.5 miles, turn to the right then the next left to the end of the road, and go to the next house. Cemetery north of the house." Can anyone give me directions with current road names?
