Reformed Protestant Church of Staten Island, corner stone laid October 10, 1818. June 1851 the Reformed Dutch Church of Stapleton is organized, the new corner stone was laid on October 27, 1863. March 23, 1870 the name is changed to The Reformed Church of Brighton Heights Staten Island. In a deed November 15, 1824, recorded February 12, 1825 the cemetery is eight tenths of an acre. In a deed recorded in June 1874 the cemetery is sold to Samuel Cooper, undertaker for $2,500 and the removal of the bodies and re-interment in Silver Mount Cemetery, February 4, 1878. January 10, 1878 Plot #429 in Silver Mount Cemetery is purchased for this purpose. Royden Vosburgh indicates in 1922 that Plot #429 is not taken care of within Silver Mount. “The reader cannot fail to observe the small number of gravestones that are now found in the Reformed Church plot, after examination of the copy that follows. However, after making every allowance, it does not appear that half the interments in the Stapleton Cemetery can be found at Silver Mount, even after including all the gravestones in family lots individually owned, which are not within the bounds of the Reformed Church Lot.” The layout of this plot according to Mr. Vosburgh: “There are four well defined rows in the plot. The stones of these rows were probably transferred from the south side of Main Avenue from the old cemetery, which section had been used for general interments as distinguished from the family lots.” In addition to the graves in Plot #429, according to the notes from V.L.D, they transcribed a selection of grave stones throughout Silver Mount. “The selection was intended to include the family plots of certain families known to have been connected with the Reformed Church of Brighton Heights Staten Island and supposed to contain gravestones at one time in the Stapleton Cemetery. No assurance can be given that the selection represents all the gravestones so transferred; in fact it is now known that the Gillespie lot at least was omitted. “ V.L.D. notes that old grave stones are used as paving stones for the pathways. They record some of these that are still readable and that were placed on the pathways face up. These records were transcribed to the best of our ability, the records are in poor condition and extremely hard to read. If you find a discrepancy in these records, please make that correction in your own files. We will not make any alterations to this listing. If you find these records not compatible to your own family history, you are encouraged to seek death certificates or other legal vital records through the New York City Municipal Archives located in Manhattan.
