Rhinebeck Reformed Dutch Church Cemetery


The Rhinebeck Reformed Dutch Church Cemetery is a small cemetery located adjacent to the Reformed Dutch Church in the village of Rhinebeck, New York.  There are some quite old stones here.  Many of the remaining stones are illegible, but on my visit in October of 2009 I did manage to find a few that I could read.

For some reason, I didn't get a shot of the church itself.  There are several on other sites around the web.  Find-a-Grave has a couple of good ones on their listing for the Rhinebeck Reformed Dutch Church Cemetery.

  1.  Everardus Bogardus  BOGARDUS, Everardus "... who died Septr. 9th 1799 aged 61 years 7 months & 16 days"

  2. Nicholas Bogardus  BOGARDUS, Nicholas "... who departed this life January 29th 1794 Aged 19 Years and 8 months"

  3. Willam or William Bogle  BOGLE, William or Willam.  This one is a bit difficult to read.  I could make out the letter "d" below the "o" in "Bogle", but couldn't see a date.

  4. James Cockburn  COCKBURN, James (June 9, 1738 - November 2, 1792).  There is an extensive description on this grave.  I am still working on trying to read it.  This is not a fallen stone, but a large marker that is apparently meant to rest flat on the ground and cover the grave.

  5.  William Davis  DAVIS, William (died 1786).  American Revolutionary War veteran.  Inscription reads:

    WILLIAM
    DAVIS

  6.  Peter Eckert  Eckert, Peter (no dates).  American Revolutionary War veteran.  Inscription reads:

    PETER
    ECKERT

  7. Benjamin Jacques  JACQUES, Benjamin "... who died Nov. 16, 1837 aged 21 years 11 mo. & 23 days"

  8. Igness? Kip  KIP, Igness? (death year illegible).  "... who departed this life the 12th of April ... aged 35 years"  This is one of several stones inside the children's playground near the back of the church.  The wooden object in the lower left corner is the foot of a small playground slide.

  9.  Jacob Kipp  KIPP, Jacob I (1751 - 1822).  American Revolutionary War veteran.  Inscription reads:

    JACOB I
    KIPP
    NEW YORK

    REVOLUTIONARY WAR

    SEPTEMBER 20 1751
