The land for this old community cemetery was donated by the Van Wicklen family around 1681. Part of the burial ground was paved over — buried beneath 149th Street — in the mid-20th century (between 1954 and 1966, as far as I can tell), and almost all of the headstones have vanished. The four stones you see above are the only ones remaining.
