Comments on: Underground Railroad: Missing Pieces of Puzzle https://theharlemtimes.com/online-news/underground-railroad-missing-pieces-of-puzzle News for Harlem and the Harlems of the World Fri, 21 Aug 2020 19:59:30 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: Susan Sorkenn https://theharlemtimes.com/online-news/underground-railroad-missing-pieces-of-puzzle#comment-210720 Fri, 21 Aug 2020 19:59:30 +0000 http://theharlemtimes.com/?p=7793#comment-210720 I’ve been doing research on Cynthia and Edward Hesdra for years. She is buried in a family cemetery in Mahwah, NJ, in the middle of a private townhouse community, on land her father owned. I’ve been trying to have her memorialized with a plaque but have been blocked by some neighbors who don’t want anyone to know there’s a cemetery here. There’s an even older standing stone, dated 1831, but with stone flaked off. Her stone, which has been detached from its base, is a beautifully etched granite headstone, provided for in her and Edward’s wills. The Rockland County Historical Society is publishing an article about her soon. I’ve met with the editor.

And I’m in touch with a possible descendant of Edward through Richard Levine. Thank you for your interest!

To complete your historical honors to both, you should consider moving both burials to your town. Cynthia is in the Fisher Rd. Cemetery in Mahwah, NJ and Edward is buried in Mokum-Slocum Cemetery in NY. After so many years of working so hard, this is the terrible end they came to abandoned locations rather than Nyack where they are honored.
