	Cemetery	Hamlet	Earliest Stone	2nd  Stone	#	Comments
	Baptist	Fishkill Plains	1817	1825	144	First Fishkill Baptist Church organized 1782.  Church building erected about 1802 - gone by 1914.  In 1914, "On Fishkill Plains, at the site of the Fishkill Plains Baptist Church.  Rough and uncared for."
	Robinson	Fishkill Plains	1752	1758	44	"This in one of the oldest burial places in the county of which traces now remain. It contains unmarked graves and graves marked by rough field stones without inscriptions. Dutch families from Long Island settled on Fishkill Plains in the seventeen-forties and fifties. The earliest date among these stones is 1752. The names on the stones, taken in connection with the deeds for land in the immediate vicinity indicate that this was a local neighborhood burial ground."
	Van Wyck	Hopewell Junction	1791	1791	36	At intersection of 376 and Rt82 in "downtown" Hopewell Junction.  Next to driveway to St. Columba Church.  In 1913, "REMARKS: Known as the Van Wyck ground. It contains two monuments (bearing 36 inscriptions) and a receiving vault."  Terraserve
	Bethel Baptist	Shenandoah	1833	1833	68	Vistied April 2001.  In good shape.  East side of Shenandoah Rd 0.3 miles south of I-84 overpass.  In 1913,  "The "Bethel Baptist Church of Shenandoah erected a church building in 1834."  Terraserve
	Calvery Methodist Church.	Hortontown	1852	1852	21	Visited April 2001.  on west side of Hortontown / Long Hill Rd.  0.5 mils north of Putnum Co border and 0.5 mil south of Shendoah/MillerHill Rd.  In 1913,  "Community ground. At Hortontown in the Shenandoah Valley.  In fair order. Still in occasional use."  Terraserve
	Hortontown Community	Hortontown	1817		50+	Visited April 2001.   The overlook on the Taconic is now closed.  So one must climb up from the Hortontown church.   Go up the hill immediately behind the church, hop the stone fence and follow the stone wall that is on your right further up the hill.  You'll hop two other stone walls. According to Buys, "This cemetery is not the one visible behind the Hortontown Church, but may be reached by climbing the steep terrain behind the church for about 500 yards.  However, the easiest way to reach it is to go south on the Taconic Parkway from Route 84 and park at the lookout. Proceed by foot through a large field in a southerly direction along the west side of the parkway for about 1000 feet, until you come to a clump of evergreens. Proceed in a westerly direction about 150 feet from the parkway property and you will find the cemetery in a stone wall enclosure The area of the cemetery is grown up with birch trees and tangled vines and is almost invisible except when the foliage has gone, but in spite of this obscurity, [it] has obviously suffered from vandalism in recent years."  I only recorded 1 tombstone, the only obvious classic old red-sandstone tombstone, John Horton, Feb 22, 1817.
	Travis / Ketcham	Hortontown	1812	1813	6+	Visited April 2001.  Could only find 1 partial tomestone.  Several depressions in groud visible.  Found exactly as desribed below.  Look for the Appalacian trail Blazes,  the AT road sign is gone.  You've gone too far if you pass the Power lines. Appears to be exactly on the border between Dutchess and Putnum county.   According to Buys, ""To reach this cemetery, go from Wiccopee southeast on the East Hook Road and ascend Long Hill. The ground is at the summit, just before the descent to the east, on the left side of the road just beyond, but adjoining, the place where the Appalachian Trail enters the roadway from the north. There are numerous fieldstones in this plot, which extends about 150 feet along the road and is about 100 feet deep. An earlier list says that members of the Odell family (not named) are buried here."
	Knapp / Pulling	Hortontown	1826	1830	7	Not yet personally found.  The Cluvert-bridge Buys  mentions is at a farm,  without any stone walls.  "From the Taconic Parkway, take Miller Hill Road to the west and join on Shenandoah Road. Cross a small culvert-bridge and notice the old gate opening in the stone wall on the left. This was still there in 1970. Proceed in a westerly direction toward the mountain on the remains of the old dirt road.  After about 500 ft., on fairly flat land, the land begins to rise gradually for about 700 feet. The road has been lost in the course of this 1200 traverse. At this point there is a stone wall directly across your path and behind this begins the fairly sharp rise which is the beginning of the mountain. Proceed up this rise, still in a westerly direction, for about 200 feet. The plot is enclosed by a fieldstone fence and is on the north side of the old dirt road, which again becomes visible and proceeds further up the mountain.

	Adams	Wiccopee	1867	1887	2	Not yet personally found,  Per Buys,  "To reach this cemetery go south from Wiccopee on West Hook Road. Turn left on Hicks Lane and proceed about 900 ft. from the large curve in the road or about 500 ft. past the Jacob Schulman house which is on the same (right) side of the road as the cemetery."

	Wright	Leetown	1837	1839	8	Visited April 2001.  On west side of Rt 52, immediately by the road.  Less than 1/2 mile south of  Leetown Road.   Only visible tmbstone is the one the large tree has grown around.  In 1916, "between Stormville - Peeksville" Terraserve
	Ballard	Pecksville	1819	1836	13+	Visited April 2001.  On south side of Milltown Road, just west of intersection with Rt 52.  Next to the fairly new small stripmall.  Many-many field stones.  Inscription, "1700 - 1950,  One of the oldest cemeteries in Dutchess County.  Land donated by the James Ballard Family.  Buried in the center of the cemetery is the Tidd Family.  Polly Tidd, her sister, and brother were kidnapped by Delaware Indians in Oct 1769.  The boy was Tomahawked on the large rock on top of the hill.  Polly's sister was slain becasue she refuesed to marry a brave.  Polly married a brave and had two sons, Johnathon and Aaron.  Later when Polly was freed, she came back to Pecksville and reclaimed her parents' homestead.  The two sons died young due to small pox.  Polly lived to be 80."  Terraserve

	Benjamin	Between Stormville & Pecksville	1794	1817	11	Visited April 2001.  Found exactly as described, except she mixed up a left for a right.  Note, Smalley road is very overgrown.   A new house is being laid out on the north side of "Smalley lane", and I imaging in a few years this former dirt  will appear to be in someone yard on Stormville road.  According to Buys, ""Drive east from Fishkill on Route 52 up Stormville Mt., and turn left on Stormville Mt. Road. (Go over I-84). The second road on the left (next road on right)  is Smalley Lane. Take this dirt lane south for about 750 ft. to the Benjamin Plot, which is in a cul-de-sac in the road."
	Coon	Between Stormville & Pecksville	1830		1+	Not yet personally found,  Just didn't have time to exlore further from Benjamin. According to Buys, "Follow the directions to the Benjamin Plot [Town of East Fishkill listing] and continue to follow the old roadbed 200 ft. further south. Turn left (southeast) along a stone wall which runs at the base of a rocky bluff for about 700 ft. Here you will find the stone listed below and several fieldstone markers. COON, John, d. April 9, 1830 in 71st yr."
