"Newspaper article written by Charles Cafferty in 1926 that says the burial ground was in Apalachin, New York. I would say it was between Apalachin and Vestal. It was destroyed when either a highway or houses were built. There is nothing left to mark the spot. Seems people didn't care much then about destroying cemeteries.
