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.

A public cemetery, it served as the burial ground for Bellevue Hospital and the New York City Almshouse. Many victims of Manhattan's yellow fever epidemics are buried here.

It was superseded by the Potter's Field at present-day Washington Square Park.

▫ Years of use: 1794 — 1797.

▫ Cemetery disposition: Destroyed.

The burials were left in place, but the site was leveled and redeveloped as a federal arsenal. It became Madison Square Park in 1847.
