Gabrielle, do you have copies of their death records? Where did they reside at the time of their passing? I would bet that they were originally buried in another cemetery/churchyard initially. According to Carolee Inskeep's Book, "The Graveyard Shift", Evergreen received thousands of re-interments from burial grounds in Manhattan, which were being phased out so the land they stood on would be available for redevelopment for other uses.

And the cemetery opened in 1851- I had people who were buried there and then moved to other cemeteries- it is common to do that. In The GreenWood, one of my families that is buried there only has one headstone and tons of people. And it is the most expensive one to get the buriel records from.
