In particular the "Mrs. Platt Mosher" It may be nothing, but I have a similar person: Phebe Mosher Garrison, wife of Platt. Info below. This could have been misread to be Mrs. Platt Mosher:e "Old Gravestones of Dutchess County, New York" by J. W. Poucher published in 1924, pages 110-117. CLASSIFICATION: Churchyard. LOCATION: In the city of Beacon, about two blocks north of the main street and two blocks east of the church building. CONDITION: Good. INSCRIPTIONS: 428 in number. Copied August 3 and October 1, 1916, by J. W. Poucher, M. D., and Mrs. Poucher.. REMARKS: In 1819 Methodists of the town of Fishkill began to hold services in a school house between Matteawan and Fishkill Landing on the old road, and a burial ground was opened. In 1824 a new road was laid out on which the congregation (known as the Matteawan Methodist Church) acquired a site and erected a building. This building was abandoned in 1860 for religious purposes, became known as Swift Hall and in 1890 burned down. In 1860 the congregation divided, one part building a church at the landing, the other in Matteawan. Recently a fund has been given for the perpetual care of this cemetery. 127.
