This small burial ground was established around 1681 on the land of the Van Wicklen family, and each neighboring family was allotted a share.  For over two centuries, the property provided the final resting ground for generations of the region’s oldest farming families, including the Van Wicklens, Durlands, Remsens, Ryders, Smiths, and Stoothoffs. The last burial at the cemetery occurred in 1919.
