This small “family” plot is well hidden among some trees at the east
      edge of a field across from the house at 1107 State Route 80, about 2.8
      miles south of Edmeston’s four corners. It is between Dinky Joe Road on
      the north and the state route mileage marker 104.8 to the south. The land
      was originally owned by William Cooper (of Cooperstown fame) who sold it
      to the Ten Broeck family in the late 18th century. There are presently
      only six stones standing, some having been recently and obviously returned
      to their upright position! Each stone had some sort of design carved into
      a circular top. In addition, some other stones have been uncovered from
      the underbrush. These appear to be original slate gravestones which have
      long since been broken and worn down; this is obvious because one of the
      pieces uncovered had the initials S A carved into it.
