In the early 1960s, two local historians (Flora Daniells & Mable Crosby) worked together with members of the Owasco Chapter DAR, Pomona Grange and other volunteers to compile a countywide inventory of cemetery burial information for Cayuga County NY. Copies of these cemetery records or gravestone transcriptions now reside in several locations, including the Cayuga County Historians Office and Seymour Public Library in Auburn NY. A version originally given to the Cayuga County Clerk Office (subsequently moved to the County Records Retention Office), included hand-drawn cemetery location maps within each volume. Please note that often these cemetery burial listings were derived by transcribing names & dates found on legible gravestones. Thus, additional burials may exist in these cemeteries! However, the gravestones were either missing, overgrown, damaged or illegible. The cemetery burial listings displayed on this website page came from the above referenced 1960s countywide cemetery records project. Occasionally, the cemetery records compiled in the 1960s, included a notation citing that they came from 'Skilton Records'. This indicates that all or part of the listings for a specific cemetery may have been copied from an earlier inventory of cemetery burials compiled by Frank A. & Clara Skilton. Mr. Skilton was an attorney & businessman who devoted the last 30-years of his life to conducting historical and genealogical research. Mr. Skilton died on 6 January 1931 and some of his historical research records and those of his wife,Clara Maria Gilbert Skilton included listings of tombstone inscriptions from graves in more than eighty Cayuga County, New York, cemeteries. These 'Skilton' research records now reside at the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections; 2B Carl A. Kroch Library at Cornell University. - Cited as Skilton Family Papers, Collection Number: 1273.

Below is an E-mail message received by the Port Byron NY Village Historian regarding burials contained within Baker Cemetery of Throop NY.
From: Roger Gunn To: Penny Helzer (Port Byron NY Village Historian) Sent: Monday, May 07, 2007 Hi Penny: We have found an old family cemetery near us and I'm writing to you because we are very close to Port Byron (Armstrong Road in the Town of Throop). I'd like to make sure this cemetery has been recorded. It is on private land (the owners started to build a home there years ago but never finished and there is no one living on the property at the present time. We found only four stones but there may be more. The names are Joel Baker, died Dec. 23, 1851 or 1854, age 71; Louisa, wife of Joel Baker, died Feb. 1, 1851, age 63; Betsey, Daughter of Joel and Louisa Baker, died 1831 or 1832, age 11 or 14; and Joel, Son, died 1812 or 1817, age 3 or 13. The writing is almost illegible. Georgena & Roger Gunn
