This cemetery is contained in the Birdseye Hollow State Forest. The majority of this state forest was acquired by the New York State between 1930 and 1940 under the terms of the Hewett Amendment to the State Constitution and the authority of the Enlarged Reforestation Act. Significant additions were made in the early 1960's using the authority of the Parks and Recreation land acquisition bond act. The current size is about 3,446 acres. According to the 1873 property map available elsewhere on this website, the descendants of those buried here are indicated. The cemetery was either on the Wolcott property or near it. It is doubtful that this cemetery was originally named Birdseye Hollow. The people buried here settled this land to cut timber and send it down the then navigable Mud Creek. Once the trees were gone it was found the land was not suitable for crop farming. |
