So-Called "Robertston Graves"
Rand Hill, Beekmantown, Clinton County, New York
DIRECTIONS:
NOTES:
- This cemetery was transcribed by Hugh & Charles Woodbury "Woody" McLellan on August 25, 1947.
- McLellan wrote: "A small burying place on the west side of the road, on Rand Hill in the Town of Beekmantown. Seven field stones were found, only one of which contained any markings."
- These records are part of what is known as the McLellan Cemetery Records. Beginning in 1933, Hugh McLellan, his son, Charles Woodbury “Woody” McLellan, and his daughter-in-law, Hulda (Bredenburg) McLellan traveled to various cemeteries throughout Clinton County copying the inscriptions from cemetery stones. Upon his death, these records were to have been donated to Cornell University. However, Dr. Allan Everest of SUNY Plattsburgh convinced the McLellan family to keep the records locally, and they were eventually donated to SUNY Plattsburgh. Complete sets of these records are also available at the Plattsburgh Public Library, the Clinton County Historian's office in Plattsburgh, and the Northern New York American-Canadian Genealogical Society in Keeseville, New York. Each Town Historian has a copy of their segment as well.
