As members of the First Presbyterian Church of New York, William and Rebecca (Linn) Keese would probably have been buried in the "Old Presbyterian Burial Ground". This is assumed to be the original location of the First Presbyterian Church at 5 Wall Street, NYC. The church was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1835, and remains were re-interred at other locations, many being moved to Green-Wood Cemetery. Their present burial site is unknown, though we continue to search so that they may be properly remembered.
