Chazy Landing Cemetery
(also known as Saxes Landing Cemetery)

Chazy, Clinton County, New York

• This cemetery was transcribed by Hugh & Charles Woodbury "Woody" McLellan September 3, 1938.
• McLellan wrote: "A fenced cemetery. Near Chazy Landing (or Saxes Landing), on the north side of the road running from the Village of Chazy to Lake Champlain. Broken stones have been repaired, many reset in cement foundations. Not very well cared for otherwise."
• 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.
