Known as Middebush cemetery. Before the war of the Revolution there  was a Baptist church at Gayhead in the town of East Fishkill. In 1782, this was abandoned and a new congregation was organized which erected a church at Middlebush. One pastor served for a time both at Middlebush and at the Union meeting house at Green Haven in the town of Beekman (q.v.). In 1826 the "meeting house lot" at Middlebush was sold and, in 1830, the church building was purchased by    the Methodists. The building was used by the Methodists 1830 - 1869 and was finally torn down."

Clapp, born at Wappingers Falls, in 1831, a life-long  resident of the place and a student of local history, is authority for the statement  that land for a community burial ground east of the falls of Wappingers Creek was given in 1742 by Nichols Brewer and that many interments were made there in early years unmarked by stones. In 1834-35 Zion church was built east of the ground and after that the use of burial ground decreased.  1876 Beers,  Cemetery & Church.

	Cowenhoven		1776	1790	6	Not yet found.  Could this be near the Fishkill Rural cemetery? In 1923, "On the farm owned by William Schlichter (known as the James R. Cooper farm), between Fishkill Village and Wappingers Falls on the state road. A walled enclosure. Uncared for. The title deeds for this farm go back to December 20, 1794, when Adrian Cowenhoven and Barbara, his wife, conveyed to Duncan Graham (see: deeds, liber 17, page 347) 343 acres, formerly owned by Jacob Cowenhoven, deceased excepting out of the same: "three rods square for a Christian Burying Ground and where it is now enclosed for the said purposes."
	Fishkill Rural Cemetery					Physically inside the Town of Wappingers, but listed on my Fishkill page.
	Swartwout	Swartoutville			1	Not yet found.  Probably on Rt 82 and All Angels Hills.  My Map shows this as the extreme South east tep of Wappinger.  In 1924, "At Swartwoutville, on the road between Brinckerhoff and Fishkill Plains. Overgrown and deserted.  Swartwout ground. A stone wall surrounds a large enclosure and also divides the space through the center. In one half are several unmarked field stones. In the other is a single large slab of slate, removed from its original position and leaned  against a tree. The slab bears the one word: "Swartwout". It is probable that removals have been made from this enclosure. In the colonial period the Swartwouts were prosperous, early residents here.   "Swartwoutville" was a name given to a locality  rather than to a particular settlement."
