	Cemetery	Location	Earliest Stone	2nd  Stone	#	Comments
	Pok Rural  Cemetery	Just South of City limits on Rt9				Phone 845-454-6020.   Founded in 1854 (6?).   If you are looking for a City of Pok grave, it's probably now here.  Many of the city's older church yards were removed here. Some Interments on Ginny's page
	Livingston Ground	Inside Pok Rural Cemetery	1772	1795	64	Nice setting on hill overlooking Hudson River.  Currently very well maintained, but overgrown in 1914.   "The family burial place of Henry Livingston (born 1714, died 1799) of Poughkeepsie and his descendants."
	St. Peters	Just North of City limts on CR 115				Modern cemetery just north of intersection of Salt Point Turnpike and Innis Ave.2nd cemetery of the St. Peters Catholic Church from City of Pok.   Very large and active cemetery
	Calvery	Arlinton				Modern Roman Catholic Cemetery at end of Lagrange Ave by Vassar College.  I've read that the records are at St. Martin De Porres 845-473-4222
	Vassar Temple	Arlington				Modern Cemetery next to Calvery Cemetery.  There is more than one Jewish cemetery at this location, but I only know the affiliation of the Vassar Temple cemetery.   845-454-2570
	Low Famly Ground	Arlington	1807	1811	8	Not yet found,  In 1912, "East of Vassar College, on the Wing farm. Overgrown; surrounded by a ruined stone wall."   I would guess it would be in the area of Vassar Golf course.
	Temple Beth-el	Rochdale				Modern Jewish Cemetery on North side of Rt 44 (Dutchess Turnpike) just south of  Pleasant Valley Town line.  Not visible from Rt 44.
	Evergreen	South of City				At end of Evergreen Ave, off of Rt 9.  Next to Dutchess Golf Country Club.  Modern Roman Catholic cemetery
	Van Der Burgh	Spackenkill	1821	1823	9	Not yet found, in 1911, "Southeast of the city of Poughkeepsie, in an orchard near the east fence of the property of the Hudson River Driving Park Association.  Stones fallen and broken.... John Van Der Burgh's house is still standing opposite the northeast corner of the Driving Park but made over and modernized. ...there were a good many stones in the family burial ground."  This location is probably north of Cedar Ave on Hooker Ave.
	Van Benshoten  Ground	Spackenkill	1799	1804	20	Not yet found.  In 1911, "Three miles south of Poughkeepsie, on the farm of Edward E. Perkins on the west side of  the Post Road at Specken Kil.  Badly overgrown and partly ploughed up; stones fallen and broken."   I imagine that this was on the land now occupied by the IBM plant.
	Westervelt Family ground	Rt 9 by Malls	1814	1819	13	Not yet found:   In 1911, "On the east side of the New York and Albany Post Road, nearly opposite the road to Camelot. Overgrown and deserted. The Westervelts were early settlers and large land owners in this neighborhood."  This area would be just north of the Gallaria mall.  A quick servey from the road in early spring showed no obvious cemetery at intersection of Cmelot and Old Post rd.  The area is still wooded.
	Fort family ground		1812	1822	17	Not yet found.  In 1911,"On the west side of New York and Albany Post Road, just inside the entrance to "Hampton Farm.   Rough with grass and weeds, surrounded by a stone wall.  In 1759 Johannes A. Fort of Kingston, N. Y., bought several hundred acres in this neighborhood and settled on the land. The stone house, directly across the road from the burial ground, was built either by him or by his son, Abraham Fort, born 1750.
	Van Keuren Family Ground	Van Keurens	1815	1817	14	Not yet found,  In 1911, "On the east side of the Barnegat road, near the junction with the Camelot road. Ground rough and uneven and thick with vines and weeds; surrounded by a ruined stone wall. Probably a Van Keuren ground. The Van Keurens were early settlers in this vicinity."    Probably was in current Trap Rock Quarry, as Barnegat and Camelot no longer intersect.
	Presbyterian Churchyard	New Hamburg	1795	1796	322	Have been told still in existance. Visible on hill North and East of RR Bridge on US Geological maps.  In 1914, "The present edifice occupied by the Presbyterian Church of New Hamburgh stands west of  the tracks of the New York Central Railroad, but the burying ground on the hill to the east marks the site of the first church building. The Church was organized about 1809 and on June 26 of that year the  trustees took title to the land on the hill."
	Lessen Family Ground	New Hamburgh	1767	1785	3	Not yet found.  In 1914, "Near New Hamburgh, on land owned by Mr. George T. Bowdoin, north of the residence of the late Mr. Irving Grinnell and south of Jan Casper's Kil, in an orchard.... presumably contains many unmarked graves."  Probably in woods north of Bowsoin Park, between Sheafe Rd and the Hudson River, south of the the mouth of the Casper Kill.
