Hello Cousins,
I'm from Central, Az. ( the town) and I'm a decendant of Moses. My great grandfather was Brigham Harris Cluff, and my grandmother was Slyvia Pearl Cluff Norton. My Cluff line arrived in this part of AZ in the latter part of 1865.
Though your post is 7 years old I thought that I would reply........hope this reached you.....
Pam

Subject: [LETSON] NYC Quarantine Cemetery Remains, Urgent Plea for help
Genealogy community can help provide a dignified re-interrment of immigrants
exhumed from Staten Island Quarantine Cemetery, buried from 1799-1858.
Friends of Abandoned Cemeteries of Staten Island NY has sent a plea for
letters of support for the proper re-interrment of the immigrant remains
that were EXHUMED from a municipal parking lot once the site of the NYC
Quarantine Hospital/cemetery. This particular NYC Quarantine station
operated from 1799-1858. The immigrants who came to the USA during this
time as well as those with disease living in the NYC Metropolian area and
were ill (as many were) passed through the S.I. Quarantine Hosp and
ultimately many died and were buried at the cemetery now a MUNICIPAL
PARKING LOT.
These human remains were EXHUMED in 2006. They are now held at a facility
located in Brooklyn in storage boxes.
Friends of Abandoned Cemeteries has offered a large section of a historic
cemetery that we maintain for the proper reinterrment of these HUMAN
remains.
Without letters of support from you the genealogy community, these remains
will be PUT BACK INTO THE PARKING LOT! Paved over once again and
forgotten.
Please, we ask that you take 1 minute of your time, send a letter of support
to: _SICemetery(a)aol.com_ (mailto:SICemetery@aol.com) . Support the
reinterrment to Staten Island Cemetery.
Time is once again running out for these unfortunate travelers. We in the
genealogy community have accumulated their information, now we must provide
to them final dignity. Your letter of support could make this possible.
Please send a letter of support today to _SICemetery(a)aol.com_
(mailto:SICemetery@aol.com)
Thank you.
