I need some assistance with Port Richmond cemeteries
Posted by: Bob MacAvoy (ID *****9765) Date: July 07, 2006 at 13:58:46

I would like to know which cemeteries in Port Richmond existed in October of 1795.

On October 25th, 1795 a ferry boat capsized off Ryer's Ferry landing and 8 people drowned. I am attempting to find out if the bodies were recovered and were buried individually or in a mass grave somewhere in Port Richmond.

The names of the people were Moses Tucker, William Hutchins, Simeon Day, Thomas Lane, John Hole, Thomas Shaw, Mrs. Sarah Parker, and a stranger.
