About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Located on Buckout Rd., in the Silver Lake area. This cemetery is the burial site for freed slaves as well as for African-American war veterans. The land on which it is located was provided by John Harrison, member of the Quakers. This area, called "The Hills", was home to an African-American community, established by freed slaves around 1800. There may be as many as 200 individuals buried here, mostly in unmarked graves. The cemetery is no longer in use.

A marker for John and Charlotte Buckout is visible on the opposite side of the road, and probably represents a separate family plot or small cemetery. No other markers exist in this area, but records indicate that there may have been up to 50 burials there.

Stony Hill Cemetery was listed as a historic site by the Westchester County Historical Society in 1983, with restoration efforts started in the 1990's.
