I don't know if this will help answer your question or not but I sent it to you as a reference or aide to your search. Rosalie Fellows Barley in 1954 wrote a book called "Guide to Gene. and Biograph. sources in NYC". It's an old source but it can sometimes be helpful. She says that your church dissolved in 1844 and then became the New Dutch church. It was located in the years 1729-1844 at Nassau and Cedar in NYC. She goes on to state that the records (in 1954, at least for the church and maybe cemetery) were stored at the churches of the Collegiate Church at 45 John Street. I believe now that they are part of the Archives of the RC in America located in New Brunswick, NJ. If you "google" Archive of the Reformed Dutch Church you will come up with several helpful sites. As you probably know that no new burials in South Manhattan after 1851. Real Estate became so expensive that many churches sold off the cemetery property for the cash. In most cases the bodies were removed without much care in keeping track of names. Those churches that dug up the bodies buried them again in new cemetery plots. Some never dug up the bodies and old NYC is buried right on top of them. In any case the church cemetery you are looking for more than likely no longer exists. Sometime the names of the re-interred are given in the written minutes of the churches.
