CEMETERY INSCRIPTIONS FROM QUAKER BURYING GROUND AT HAVILAND HOLLOW NEW YORK This old cemetery is located across the street from where the old Testing House stood and opposite the old house of the Lane family. Very few stones were in evidence when the following inscriptions were copied in 1909. It is known however, that the first settler on Quaker hill, Nathan Birdsall, is buried here as are doubtless numerous of his descendants. Numbers of stones were so worn by age and weather that they were not readable and the place was being used as a pasture by foreigners who were occupying the old Lane home.

NATHAN, born 1705, m. by Rev. Thomas Poyer, Rector of the Parish Church of Jamaica, April 12, 1726, Jane, daughter of John Langdon. Both were from Hempstead.
We next find NATHAN, born 1705, as being the first settler on Quaker Hill, Dutchess County, N.Y., where he is supposed to have settled in 1728, arriving there with one child. Some students claim he reached there via of Purchase, as his name appears on the early Quaker records of that place, but there is a possibility that he came via Danbury and Ridgefield as a Birchard is interested in the first purchase from the Indians, also in Ridgefield. Nathan is said to have settled on land now owned by Albro Haines and he and his wife lived to be about ninety years of age and were buried in the Quaker cemetery in Haviland Hollow, Dutchess Co., N.Y. Nathan did not move to Haviland Hollow until the close of the Rev. War. There are no stones in the old cemetery to mark their resting place, owing probably to the objections the Quakers had to such markers at that time, and when the compiler of these notes visited Haviland Hollow in 1909 the old Meeting House, almost opposite the little abandoned cemetery, had recently blown down and cattle were browsing in the burial place where only a few head stones of more recent times were readable.
All of the headstones that were decipherable were copied, as were all of those in the newer burial place several miles farther on, known as the "Gerow" Cemetery, and placed in the custody of the New York and Long Island Historical Societies.
The children of Nathan and Jane were:
John, b. Aug. 11, 1727, m., 1st, Eliz. Tripp; 2nd, Rebecca Elwell. He died at Unadilla, N.Y., Sept. 17, 1815. Rebecca was born Jan. 5, 1735, died Oct. 15, 1806.
JAMES, b. Oct. 18, 1728, m. Hannah Akin.
Nathan, b. Dec. 1, 1732, m. Content, daughter of Geo. and Avise Soule.
There is recorded the m. of Nathan, Jr., on Oct. 9, 1794 to widow, Susannah Shippen, from Long Island, but believe on good authority the name should be Stevens and not Shippen.
