Abandoned cemetery established in 1730 contains 77 Colonial era graves in the region once called Black Stump. Until the early to mid-20th Century this part of Queens remained largely open fields and farmland. In 1919 a survey was done and 26 of the stones had visible inscriptions. The three grave photos were taken decades ago. The markers have either been buried or stolen in the intervening years. It is now an empty lot on 182nd Street near 73rd Avenue in Fresh Meadows. On August 14, 2012, after many years, this cemetery was named a New York City Landmark.
