Delaware County NY Genealogy and History Site

While on a visit to the town Clerks office in Margaretville, I found information on a small cemetery. I do not know the name of it, and it is not the Gavett Cemetery, although it contains some Gavetts. It is off Milbrook Road on a road called Ploutz Road go all the way to the end (it is a dead end road) park by the house and it is in the middle of the field. It has a stone wall around it and it is in bad condition. There are only three stones readable. I transcribed the inscriptions as follows. --Submitted by Terry (Green) Wakeman, August 7, 2001

George W stands for George Washington Gavett, I was thrilled to find this as I have been trying to locate him for quit some time. It never ceases to amaze me what I find on my trips to Delaware County and I am not from that area.
