Gads. It's more like, is there a cemetery that DOESN'T have Houghtalings in it? Actually, Walker Valley is one that doesn't...That's a good old name in this area. It would take me forever...I don't have time for that much typing at the moment, so let me give you the cemeteries and how many at each: Esopus Port Ewen Cemetery--29 Hurley Hurley Cemetery--2 Old Hurley Burying Ground--12 Kingston First Reformed Dutch Church Ground--4 Cemetery on Albany Avenue--1 Houghtaling Cemetery--3 Marbletown Marbletown Reformed Dutch Church Ground--6 Saugerties Mountain View Cemetery--9 Schoonmaker Ground--1 Shandaken Markle Family Ground--1 Then there's a slew of entries where Houghtaling (or some variation in spelling) was a maiden name. There are only a couple entries for Eighmey: Shandaken Shandaken M.E. Church Ground Eighmey, Oscor B., June 10, 1862, 0-7-25; Phillip B., Jan 2, 1880, 4-2-10 Sons of Barnett and Fannie S. Coons Burying Ground Brownell, Luisina Eighmey, w. of I., Jan. 4, 1869, 32-9-26 Woodstock Woodstock Cemetery Eighmey, Barnet, Feb. 23, 1864, 80th yr. Eighmey, Rachel Booth, w. of Barnet?, Oct. 3 1872, 83 yrs (compiler's "?", not mine) All of the above are from "Old Gravestones of Ulster County" by Poucher & Terwilliger (1931) with Index by the Ulster Co Genealogical Society. "Ulster County Cemeteries" compiled by Florence Prehn and edited by Audry M. Klinkenberg has several Eighmy/Eighmey entries. Barnett Benson D Cosby H Daniel S Elias D Ella L Fannie S Joab L John L Lany Oscar B Philip Phillip B Ralph Elias Ruth Samuel B Daniel Now, back to the Houghtalings. My VanKeuren line is tied into the Houghtalings, so following is an outline descendant tree for 5 generations for the one I have the most on. Following him is another Houghtaling I simply had not tied in at this point, just in case it belongs with yours.
