Yes, I know that cemetery. I misread your first posting and I was thinking it was a very small cemetery. But the names on your post were of interest to me as I was visiting a friend in Old Chatham who lives on property that has a small cemetery in what is now woods. It has about 20+/- graves. The names in the cemetery are mostly Burgess but there were some Van Valkenburghs and a Dewitt Clinton. There were also several graves of "consorts" of different men and most of these women were named Prudence. I wonder if anyone is looking for them. They graves are from the mid to late 1800,s although I did see one from 1904, a Van Valkenburgh.
