About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This cemetery is no longer in existence - it was turned into a playground by NYC in the 1930s. Some of the graves were moved to Mount Olivet Cemetery in Maspeth, Queens - others were moved to the First Presbyterian Church and Newtown's Churchyard burial grounds. Supposedly, the remaining burials were left, their headstones laid flat upon the ground and they were covered with dirt and grass was planted.

The cemetery is identified as the Old Newtown Cemetery on page 131 of The Graveyard Shift: A Family Historian's Guide to New York City Cemeteries, Carolee Inskeep, Ancestry Publishing (Orem, Utah) © 2000
