Havilands.com - Cemeteries - Purchase Meeting Cemetery
Purchase, or Harrison's Purchase as it used to be called, is part of the modern day town of Harrison on the mid-Eastern side of Westchester County. This cemetery at the Purchase Friends Meeting house (a Quaker church), on the corner of Purchase St. (Rt. 120) and Lake St. (White Plains Rd.), right beside the Westchester County Airport. The neighboring Friends Meeting house is still active to this day.
It is relatively well kept, although some of it gets swamped easily, and the tombstones literally sink deep into the ground over the years to become almost buried. There are many Quaker Havilands buried here. None of them are my direct ancestors. The closest is Solomon Haviland, my 5th great grand-uncle, brother of Roger Haviland, my 5th great grandfather.

Ida Grace Haviland Note: Josephine Frost in "Haviland Genealogy" has her name as "Grace" with the same birth and death dates. I think this middle initial might be a G (not a C), which makes her full name Ida Grace Haviland. However I am not certain this is true. Also note that this baby was born only 10 months after Alice (above), who died at 6 months. |
Francis Haviland Note: Josephine Frost in "Haviland Genealogy" does not list this child for David L. Haviland and Sarah Elizabeth Williamson. |
