Dorlandt Family Cemetery dates from the 1700s (18th Century) and was located on the Garret Dorlandt Farmstead, Skillman, Montgomery Township, Somerset, New Jersey. The Garret Dorlandt Farmstead, including adjoining farms of other members of the Dorlandt Family, originally a large tract of farmland and forestland containing about 500 acres.

At one time, Dorlandt Family Cemetery contained 40 known gravesites and is not known to have survived encroaching urbanization. As recently as the 21st Century, circa 2002, a Boy Scout project was being organized to repair and restore the Dorlandt Family Cemetery, including installing a perimeter fence to surround the graveyard. Documentation shows the worthy historical civic project of the Boy Scouts of America, to repair and restore Dorland Family Cemetery, received the necessary local governmental approval.

However, urbanization compromised the family burying ground, which surrounding land was sub-divided for development. Upon the large old Dorlandt Family Farmstead, and in close proximity to the Dorlandt Family Cemetery, are now established: Woodcrest Estates (housing sub-division), Crawford House (drug & alcohol rehabilitation halfway house), pastureland, private homes and businesses.

In modern times, this beautiful (now suburban) New Jersey countryside area geographically is defined by such streets, roads and landscape features as: Sunset Road, Back Brook (stream), Elm Drive and Fieldcrest Avenue. More generally, this area is bounded by larger highways: Blawenburg-Belle Mead Road and U.S. Hwy. 206 (a.k.a. "State Road" or Old Dutchtown-Harlingen Road) at Skillman, Montgomery Township, Somerset County, New Jersey.

As closely as can be determined from documented decades of interest, including on-site cemetery surveys, family history book narratives, community commentary, and aerial-perspective satellite imagery, Dorlandt Family Cemetery was located very close to (beside or behind) Crawford House (halfway house), which listed modern address is:
362 Sunset Road,
Skillman, NJ Zip Code 08558.

SPECIAL NOTE: Crawford House staff have requested that NO cemetery inquiries be made at their halfway house. Such questions by interested persons would have a disturbing and distracting effect upon personnel and patients at this drug-alcohol rehab halfway house facility.
