"The remains of a 24-year-old girl, buried in 1803, were disinterred today by workmen excavating for the erection of a new building at 49 Riverside Avenue, Rensselaer. A plate on the casket bore the inscription: 'Anna Visscher died the 12th day of March, 1803, aged 24 years, one month.' Old residents recalled that the land was formerly a private cemetery."
"Exhume Body, Buried in 1803." Troy Times. September 23, 1926: 18 col 6.
49 Riverside Avenue is relatively near Teller's Crossing, and Teller's Crossing is about where the Papscanee Island Cemetery is thought to have been - though seemingly Riverside Avenue was on the shore east of Papscanee Island. If Anna Visscher was not buried in Papscanee Island Cemetery it was some other one awfully close to it of unknown name.
