Purchase Meeting Cemetery, Harrison

Town of Harrison (Harrison's Purchase), County of Westchester, New York State

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.
