Information taken from the Tombstone Inscriptions from abandoned cemeteries and farm burials of Gennessee County, New York:

The present city of Batavia's Pioneer Cemetery was on West Main Street back of the West Main Street School. No evidence now remains that a cemetery was ever there. Many removals were made to the Batavia Cemetery on Harvester Avenue, then known as Cemetery Street. The plot was deeded by Benjamin Ellicott August 10, 1820. Burials were apparently made before that time. The following names were given in the Beers' Gazetteer of Genesee County as being left in 1890:

Richard Beuell died 1819
Wheaton Mason died 1825
W. T. Stark died 1822
Oliver Wilcox's two unnamed wives; one died in 1807, the other in 1824


Per the map of the Village of Batavia in the Combination Atlas Map of Genesee County New York, Century Map Co., 1876, the cemetery was on the east side of S Lyon Street north of Tonawanda Creek.
